I apologise for any disrespect shown to Bristol's Finest Tandem-Rotor Torpedo Carrier! IIRC I was busy on Director at the time, and thus temporarily less tolerant than my usual mellow self.
A bit like the visiting Victor tanker joining the traffic pattern at Tengah, where there were lonnggg delays in responding to, and copying with, my RT instructions. Eventually I went non-standard, as said "May I speak to the Captain, please?" A new voice materialised, and stayed with me for the rest of the recovery process.
