Ah, memories in Waddo Tower of “This is the Bomber Controller, <redacted blah blah blah>“ coming from the ‘Bomber Box’.

I had an NCO controller who was, for some strange reason, incapable of repeating (on Local frequency) the messages verbatim, despite his Assistant passing him a chinagraph plaque with the standard full wording and the relevant codes written on it. Fortunately the crews took more cognisance of what they received via ‘other means’.
