this competition is now closed to new entries however it isn't locked as we consider that one entry is not compliant with the subject title and I contacted the poster yesterday evening asking him if he would like to change it and we are allowing time for him to do so.

I will lock it at or after 7am tomorrow (depending if I get up late!) and the poll will follow soon after. I've got the list written except for the one post which we have offered the extension on so won't take me many minutes to post it.

Thanks for your patience.
Andy

I'm pleased to say that the entry referred to above had now been amended so I'm ready to go with the poll and it is now open for voting here: http://www.civilianaviation.co.uk/forum ... 10&t=30222

A record(?) number of entries this month, so pleased to see that it's a popular subject - thank you all for entering and lets see if we can get a record number of votes as well , with that many entries it may take a bit of time to pick your favourite 3!
