Here's where you can post your completed entries. You'll probably also want to post a link to your original build thread so when people go to cast their vote, they can see all the toil, blood and sweat that made the magic happen!

Failsworth Falcon DRA.1 ZT895 '025' , 6 Sqn RAF, Akrotiri 2014
As the USA had developed the RQ-4 Global Hawk, so the UK developed the broadly similar (albeit smaller) Firecracker DRA.1.
Having gained essential UAV experience with RQ-1 Predators and MQ-9 Reapers in Afghanistan, the RAF wanted something more capable to bridge the gap between those types and the BAE Systems Taranis UCAV that was planned to enter service in 2017 as the unmanned element of the RAF's Future Offensive Aircraft Capability. 
However, strains on the British defence budget, plus contractural obligations to the multi-national Typhoon fighter and the Joint Combat Aircraft/F-35 Lightning II projects led to the Taranis being relegated to technology demonstrator status and Tranche 3 Typhoons being built mostly as two-seaters to replace the Tornado GR.4.  The JCA (aka Lightning FGA.1) entered service as planned, and thus by 2020 the RAF would be operating just two manned fast jet types.  The unmanned capability was not ignored, however, and using much of the technology developed for Taranis, the Firecracker (built by BAE Systems subsidiary, Failsworth Aerospace) came to be. 
Built to a lower specification than the Taranis, and intended to fulfil a less demanding role (ie similar to that of the Reaper), the Firecracker was considerably less expensive.  Eschewing a turboprop for a turbofan, the Firecracker's speed was greater than the Reaper's.  Range was greater, but less than Global Hawk's (leading to the type being nicknamed 'Regional Pigeon' by the RAF).  A variety of sensors and weaponry could be carried.
36 Firecrackers were built, these serving with the joint RAF/Royal Navy 360 Sqn in the UK (which also had the type training role), 6 Sqn RAF in Cyprus, and 1417 Flight  RAF in the Falkland Islands.

Vickers Viagra K1476, East Africa Survey Flight RAF, Nairobi, 1933
The Vickers Aircraft Company designed this replacement for the single-engined DH9 in the imperial survey and mapping role. The original 3-seat and configuration was amended to a two man crew (pilot and camera operator.  Features unique (or innovative) for the time included the internal vertical camera bays in the fuselage (designed for two Williamson Eagle cameras allowing unrestricted photography) and the faired oblique wing camera installations – a configuration not seen again in RAF service until the advent of photo-reconnaissance Spitfires during the Second World War.  In addition, a gravity feed fuel tank was fitted to the centre section of the upper wing, serving  essentially as a top up hopper for the main fuel tank located in the nose of the aircraft behind the engine. It was this feature that afforded the Viagra its staying power – it could stay up for over four hours.  Finally, the wings were of cantilever design, thus obviating the need for external bracing wires.
The first of only six examples built – K1474 - first flew from Brooklands in June 1929.  The type was used by the RAF to survey 250000 square miles of eastern Africa from 1930 to 1935.  K1476 later became aircraft 250 of the Royal South African Air Force and was based at Zwartkop aerodrome, Valhalla, on photographic duties until 1942.
K1474 was exhibited at the International Aero Show at Olympia in July 1929 and was flown by the Royal Aircraft Establishment at Farnborough for aerial photography trials until struck off charge in 1937.
