Glad this thread is still going. Have remember a story from when I was a Freddie in the RN. I wasn't controlling at the time, my opposite number on D89 had the headset on. Anyway we were doing trials post refit with FRA Falcons from Bournemouth in the South Coast Areas. Went something like this:
"Freddie good afternoon, Broadway 22 with you"
"Broadway 22 afternoon, squawk 0021"
"Squawk 0022, Broadway 21"
"Er.... negative.... squawk 0021, Broadway 22"
"Squawk 0021, Broadway 21, er 22"
Well we thought it was funny at the time.
