This is what happens if you order a flight sim from Ebay when drunk....


(Friend of mine once hauled the cockpit from a plane on a trailer for exactly that purpose, half way across the Uk :) )

The building's going to have to go!

That's okay -- it's only half-timbered anyway.

Having flown down the length up the U.K. the Mighty Nimrod was de-winged before setting off back up the country to be re winged and scrapped.

After inadvertently flying through the interdimensional portal that opened before them, the crew and passengers of BA123 suddenly found themselves in the Land That Time Forgot.

Sh!t -- It's knocking off time and we forgot the wheel chocks.

That's okay --we'll just spike it to the cross.

The driver hauling the first Nimrod fuselage to Woodford was overcome by the irresistable urge to stop and buy some pies to consume en route.

It’s harder for a Comet to enter Threadneedle Street than for Farage to keep his account at Coutts.

Let the plane take the strain to the train...

Asked if the traffic disruptions would continue tomorrow, de Havilland's only response was "no Comet."

Complaining to The Sun about traffic congestion, Ms. D. Havilland (38-24-36) asked why they couldn't' just fly it to Heathrow.

The two Nimrod prototypes were found to suffer from 'directional instability'

Then E. Halley looked out from his office in the mint, and history was made.

Even before GPS HGVs relied on maps that took them down unsuitable roads.

:confused: Having grown up in Cheshire, I can't understand this picture. The fuselage is by the Chester Cross, where the old A55 started (it's now pedestrianised) but it is turning south along the road (Bridge Street) that would lead to not from DH's factory at Broughton.

Right! That's the banger, where's my mash?

The Kardashians' venture into cyberdildonics was an abject failure; It vibrated with reckless abandon, but was unable to negotiate a corner.

(?) They’re backing round the corner!

The Everton Keeper had a cunning plan for clean sheets...

I told you to hire wing walkers, but no-oo, you wanted to save a few shillings.

Typical. We're about to mount the wings, and the front office remembers the customer ordered the stretch fuselage.

It was unlucky to pass under a ladder, something that would later prove to be correct.

Cutting out the middlemen, the early Comet was delivered straight to the graveyard.

Here, didn't it 'ave wings on it when we set off?

Shamus O'Toole, the King of Gypsies shows off his new caravan in a display of one upmanship.

"Careful, Fred ... you've had the nose off it already ..."

Ooh look, pub's have just opened, let's have a bevy!

Where there's an aircraft, there's a spotter up a ladder with his camera.

'Urry up lads, we want to be we well away from 'ere before the owner of the shop finds owt we 'ave shorn 6 inches off his ground floor frontage.

It'll never work I tell ya, you have no flashing beacons, a wide load vehicle present, nor any reflective tabbards.

Hoskins... we don't have a problem. We have a challenge!

“Oi, is that you, Les?”

”Nah, mate, it’s not been imposed yet.”

Man in center foreground needs work on his Führer salute.

Some comedian (Larry Greyson ) is yelling at him to “ shut that door “

Paddy's Budget Air Tours promised close passes to scenic locations and wildlife viewings and almost came through.

Oh, you can’t park there mate, it’s disabled only.

Well, as we ‘avn’t got a leg of our own to stand on, we qualify.

Mr Pickford hadn't understood the concept of an Air Bus.

Hurry up at the back, we need to get out of here before they make it a ULEZone!

Early TFR trials.

A Mr Formby is complaining that we are disrupting his window cleaning duties... and that his viagra will wear off if we don't get a shunt on.

Who's bright idea was it to convert this into a Weatherspoons on the High Street?
