Ahh Gordon Littlehailes (Kap) I remember well the day as intake F/O's (he really put the fear of the almighty into F/O's particularly junior ones) one of our BNE intake F/O's had to go to him and "beg" for a green ticket or some such. Not being familiar with the proceedure he enquired as to the correct course:

The advice "go see Mr Sleet" he will fix it.

And instant severe CB occurred in the small office when Gordon was addressed as Mr Sleet .

All the rest of his intake mates peering out of the crewroom laughing so much our ribs ached.
