Slightly different...
Back in the day, a crew's worth of Brits was trained on the NATO AWACS at Geilenkirchen in preparation for the UK Sentry arrival in service. The German national support unit agreed to look after the Brits because we didn't have a national support unit. The first two Brits arrived to be processed by the Germans. Place of birth: Kenya. A few raised eyebrows at that. Second chap place of birth: Basra, Iraq (father was a British Army doctor - more raised eyebrows). Third chap place of birth...Yorkshire (that's more like it). Date of birth: Christmas Day. Fourth chap: place of birth; Yorkshire. Date of birth: Christmas Day. For some reason, the Germans thought that we were testing their sense of humour, and yet it was all true.
As an afters, the Geilenkirchen procedure was that all newly arrived personnel had to take an English language test with the Americans and Canadians as the only ones exempt - the upshot was a strong suggestion that the Brits had to take the language test as we weren't exempt. (We refused by stating that it was a waste of time and won).
