ORAC - the reason Porks was unable to hear his wingman telling him to eject was probably, as ever, that he was stuck on transmit! Don't you remeber the ear defenders in the Binners crewroom which were labelled 'Porky Defenders'?

Wonderful RAF fighter mate wit to christen the lad 'Porky'. Why - because he was of the faith which recognises the Sabbath and snips the end off the whatsit. Nowadays it would be considered as non-PC, against the EO-dogma and awfully naughty to give him such a nickname. But Porks thought it was rather a giggle!
