Another “WORLD NEWS FLASH”

Here in the states there is a rag of a newspaper called the ” “World News” examiner or something like that .a few years back they had a fixed up photo of a B-29 on the moon and the Headline proclamed “B-29 found on the moon” So in a later follow up.
“This just in ,Authorities claim that the same aliens that landed the B-29 on the moon have just landed a B-17 on a bridge in Antarctica.They believe that we must next be ready for the aliens to land a B-52 on Uranus” That is all.

Not a caption

I am just interested in what the Dickensian character in ‘Frock coat’ and ‘Topper’ is doing in the foreground. :confused:

There’s a probably vintage truck forum somewhere which is running the same caption competition.

Nothing witty to contribute, but for those who wondered…its the old USAF Museum B-17G, 44-83624, being moved from the original museum site (at Wright Pat) to the new site in the early 1970s. That B-17 is now at Dover AFB, DL, while “Shoo Shoo Baby” is the display B-17 at Dayton.

Okay, how about:

“You should have seen the really big one that landed here last week.”

Chuck was desperate to block the road from his Mother-in-law’s house to his own.

Now that is one sophisticated machine for laying white lines on a road!

Norfolk Police unveil latest anti Chav equipment

We don’t have chavs in Norfolk. We’re not that up to date. We’ve only just seen off hot pants (so to speak……!) 😀
