As a Civil Air Patrol Cadet in the mid 1960's I was provided a flight in a Lockheed T-33 for being the winner of the Annual Competition in my State.
During the brief prior to flight....I was told by the Pilot that upon his determining the need to eject he would say...."Eject...Eject...Eject!".
He then added that if I spoke after hearing that Command I would talking to myself.
How far back do you want to take this line of chat?
Also....just because they were trying to be polite by speaking in their native language....does not change their evaluation of the "English".
Am I right to believe it is actually the Cornish that are English?
