Not being one to dwell too long on these judgements, I might declare my findings.

Using the tried & true "That's clever" method, I am awarding this round to: ACW599 with...

"Well, that's the first time I've ever flown up a glideslope".

Over to you.

The RAF lineys do all they can to make the Sea Harrier pilots feel at home during the conversion course to the Harrier.

Pilot > Tower. ' Will someone please remove those bloody Bootnecks from the taxi way?'

Or

The exchange Royal Navy pilot was reminded of his heritage of 'Rum, Sodomy and the Lash'.

Or

Royal Navy Pilot > Tower. 'Did you just say 'Kiss me Hardy...or Harder?'

Or

The Royal Navy Pilot was in two minds about the new method of 'Pipeing aboard' senior officers.
