There was, of course, the trick of arranging with 2 or 3 other mates a little jape to confuse the QGH controller. The team went to pre-arranged positions about 20 miles from the aerodrome all of which were equally spaced around the points of the compass. After the warning double-key on the frequency was given, they would transmit in sequence: 'True'..'Bearing'..'True'..'Bearing'..'True'..'Bearing'..'Cr anwell'..'Homer'..'Request'..'True'..'Bearing'; each pilot only transmitting when it was his turn!The 'wiggly worm' would dart around the CRT and ATC would go nuts!

Or orbiting that mast down near Melton Mowbray when the 'welease Wodewick' contwoller was on shift and asking for a Twue Bearwing....the answer was 'Two two two degwees Twue'!!

Rotten little $ods, U/T pilots!!
