Regular viewers may recall a short I did a short time ago involving an unidentified flown objectionable.
Further to that some chappie named Ivanovitch decided to park his jet in the garden. Must have overshot the runway a bit.
May be it was the ufo that now de-cloacked if not de-frocked.

What a great spot.  Doesn't look like a jump-jet, so unless he's got VTOL he's going nowhere     That's quite a garden ornament.

Indeed - what Gary Klinkert commented is this aircraft - someone must have parked it there and like me, forgotten where it is

Mrs. B once went out in the car then came home on the bus. Guess who had to retrieve the car

I've got to say that is quite the unusual object to put in a garden.  I bet it was the talk of the neighborhood for a while.  Nice find and nicely documented Droffarc.

Must have been one heck of a shopping spree to make her forget she drove to that location.  

I have a parking lot at the airport that I prefer to use.  One trip that lot was being retarred so it was closed and I had to park in a different lot.  Upon my return to the airport two weeks later I went to the lot I always park in and no car.  Thought my car had been stolen.  The lot attendant reminded me that the lot had been closed and that I probably parked in a different lot.  Duh, I sure did.  Took the airport shuttle bus around to the different lots and in the third lot I found my car.

I solved my issue by just taking an Uber to the airport when I travel now, which isn't very often anymore.

No,    she get infuriated when I can quote what she said a few days ago and it's not what she thought she had said.
