Many thanks for your contribution. Appreciated .
However, a caveat, (in fun of course, should that be "joshing"?). The words real prune were not as complementary "in my day" .

Here is the reason. All aircrew U/T received copies of a magazine called T.M an acronym for Training Magazine. Quite amusing, but very instructive. The main character being one P.O (pilot officer) Prune (the main reason I discovered this forum) He made every mistake possible, and is the one who supposedly set his compass red on black and bombed Ireland. Stories about the bomb aimer with his ,left left, steady steady. whoa back a bit. So then being called P/O Prune was the same as being called a clot,

Nice to hear from the U.S of A. I have many complimentary things to say so Stay tooned (sic) in.
