  1. A man with a seagull on his head? . . . . . . . . Cliff
  2. 25% SOC (struck off charge) or transferred to MU or OTU i.e. survived. 47% lost in accidents. 28% lost/missing in action. Probably not atypical for WW2?
  3. Is there such a thing as a two-pint joke?
  4. A company is making a documentary series on 'How to fly a plane'. They're currently filming the pilot.
  5. I am writing an app that randomly closes the video game you are playing and opens a different one. It's going to be a game changer.
  6. The wife suggested we spice things up a bit and play Doctors and Nurses. So I put her on a trolley in the hall and ignored her for 48 hours!
  7. A maiden at college, Miss Breeze, Weighed down by B.A's and Lit.D's, Collapsed from the strain, Said her doctor, "It's plain You are killing yourself—by degrees!"
  8. At times I’m so mad that I’m hopping. My angriness sets my veins popping. I yell and I curse, With swear words diverse, But my wife does much worse: she goes shopping!
  9. There once was a runner named Dwight, Who could speed even faster than light. He set out one day, In a relative way, And returned on the previous night. One Saturday morning at three, A cheesemonger’s shop in Paree, Collapsed to the ground, With a thunderous sound, Leaving only a pile of de brie.
  10. One of the most beautiful aircraft ever built! I was living in Bahrain when BA started their scheduled service. Muharraq airport has a main road running around its perimeter. When Concorde was taxying out to take off EVERY vehicle on the road stopped and watched until it had taken off. A new-tool Concorde in any scale would be great!
  11. I'm happy Ford didn't invent the aeroplane. It wouldn't have been Wright.
  12. Just picked up on this thread. Were the propellers used by the Whirlwind used on any other aircraft? Westland were able to build a large number of Seafires, albeit later in the war.
  13. That's why we have the Darwin Awards!
  14. Einstein discovered a good theory about space and it was about time too.
