"If that's what the padre said then god &/or Patriach Krill will protect us, but either way, we're totally stuffed f**k*d! - I want my mummy!"

It's called maskirovka, Comrade

Thanks for all the contributions - such a good standard that it's been hard to choose, but here's what tickled me:

Honourable mentions to

622: Wow ...you're a bee keeper too!!

NutLoose: They say we’re the last defence line protecting Croydon, my question is why bother? (Many a true word...)

3rd place goes to Chu Chu: Temporarily assigned to local defense, flight officer candidates still manage to get in some time under the hood.

2nd place goes to treadigraph: Well my boy, this is going to be one hell of a shotgun wedding...

And the winner is...

Wensleydale: I feel such a burka wearing this...

So congrats and over to you Wensleydale to start the week off!

[Wensleydale]

Thanks FBW.

Early carrier trials find that 38 wires are too many, and will try again with maybe 6.

[Woodsy2417]

I think there has been some confusion here Hoskins, when I said fly by wire........

[Ascend Charlie]

"Obviously a Hoskins effort, I see his fingerprints all over it."

[Ascend Charlie]

"Send the base a telegram to say there's been an accident!"
"Sorry, sir, the wires are down..."

[Chu Chu]

The pilot didn’t stick around. But Hoskins’ fingerprints are all over this.

[Chu Chu]

After a successful proof of concept, it only remained to work the kinks out of mechanized wire rope manufacture.

[treadigraph]

You a Blondie fan, Hoskins?

[treadigraph]

Who's that tangled in the lines, man?

He's from Wichita. Errr, a Lieutenant Campbell, Sir...

[NutLoose]

Did you or didn't you say you wanted it out on the line smartish?

[NutLoose]

Well we could shift the blame onto the electricians and put the crash down to a wiring fault.

[NutLoose]

Well I tried a 90 degrees bank, but I failed to allow for the other bank..

[Dan Gerous]

Bravo Hoskins, bravely staying with the aircraft to avoid whatever that box thingy down there is.
