    I'm just reading "Phoenix Squadron"[1] by Rowland White, a (true) tale
    of derring-do involving the Fleet Air Arm.

    In it he mentions a bunch of FAA guys being sent off to Miramar to take
    part in the US's "Top Gun" programme. They had to pick callsigns, but
    eschewed the "Maverick", "Viper", etc style of the natives.

    They were known as Alien, Dogbreath, Cholmondley and Spastic.

    Well, it made me laugh...

    [1] Which reminds me, I must post "Agent Zigzag" back to TOG.

    go and talk to the Catholics.

    Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, The Older
    Will do, once I've finished it.
    It's a totally implausible yarn. And then you remember that it really
    happened...

    Blimey. Who could resist a desperate plea like that. OK, Nigel, bung him
    Zigzag, and I'll keep first dibs on Phoenix.

    I liked Vulcan 607. Amazing just how close those Vulcans came to
    becoming submarines.

    Anyone wants to borrow it [1], they're welcome.

    Paul.

    [1] Note to Catman, i'm the wrong side of the pond to send yours :)
