From December's 'Classic Cars' in an article by Eoin Young on taking (Sir) Jack Brabham's Cessna 180 from Luton to Tasmania in the 1960's:
"My favourite memory...trying to raise the tower at Phuket.......then it was a grass field and the reason (the pilot) couldn't raise anyone was because nobody was there. (The pilot) thought perhaps he was mispronouncing the name and tried every variation over the radio until a very Australian voice boomed into our cockpit from nearby Butterworth airforce base in Burma. 'Whaddya want to do with it, mate? Pook-it? !!!!-it? Or F**k it?'"
