The 2016 Whiffie Awards Show

Welcome ladies and gentleman to this years Whiffie Awards and may I say it`s a pleasure to host this show again. It`s been a year of ups and downs, but thankfully I`m moving to a bungalow soon. The members of the What If fraternity have come together in one place to acknowledge their fellow members, (stop sniggering at the back...!), for their time commitment and work in producing masterpieces of what if magic.

Diversity seems to be the topic of this years award shows and I`m glad to say that the Whiffie seems to be the exception to the rule.
We have monoplanes, bi-planes, tri-planes, jet planes and propeller planes. I even suspect that one of the builds was a trans gender plane?

How diverse is that?

Could I also remind the audience to refrain from posting any comments until the closing post has been made. Thank you.

So....., moving on to the first category.......,
