Caption Competition Mk III
Friar Bill kept forgetting his shaving device when he visited neighboring monasteries, so he developed one that could quickly be sent after him. Of course, he had to wait several centuries for the jet engine to be invented, and make a few compromises on size and configuration. (Or maybe there's a simpler explanation?)

It flies great but it screwed up every nav in the RAF as they were used to navigating by the little red and green wingtip light to show they were on course.

Note to the design team, a fore and aft folding wing to allow compact hangar storage would be fine if the bloody retaining system was fit for purpose.

Well we did tell you the designer you hired was a bit of a crank.
The pilot's politics were decidedly right-wing.

Well it flies better since we removed the engines off the wings.
