My father always said "plane" was a big No No [like raff] in his wartime service.
Absolutely!

On day one in the RAF, we were told that two words were never said:

1. Plane - unless referring to a carpentry tool.

and

2. RAFF - unless combined with RIFF- which of course it never was when referring to the Junior Service (in those days......)
