Not doubting others may have had similar calls but the original "classic" exchange (circa '69 / 70) was with a 46Sqn Andover en route to Aldergrove:

"London, Ascot xxx is an Andover on handover from Andover carrying bustards and a landrover over."
"Ascot xxx understand you're a landrover full of b*astards over!!?

At the time we were assisting in a government effort to introduce the Great Bustard into Northern Ireland from a conservancy site in Wilts close to Andover. The Bustard is a rare bird about size of a turkey. Also had a troop of pongos on board with their trusty steed the landrover.
