Having found 'the Maybot' all Jack had to do now was remove the batteries before anyone discovered his plan...

"Please let that be Bill's plane," thought Philip. "Mother is pining away without him."

Any more for any more? I'll pick a winner on Friday.

If I could live here on this secret island always and always and always, and never grow up at all, I would be quite happy

Every time Jack tried to elope with a new girlfriend the magic plane arrived and took him straight back to Enid Blyton Land...

A good lot of entries which I enjoyed reading!

The runner-up is Rob with the following clever caption:
Enid Blyton had always been Philip's idol...
but the winner is Julie with
"I'll get a lift in that plane as these chocolate figures are getting bigger and heavier every year!"
The shops are full of chocolate figures etc. already, and Julie's amusing caption really made me chuckle.

Well done, Julie, and over to you!
