Likewise, old chum! 'twas only an affectionate nickname - but we really did call the co-pilots Duggie Bs!!

38D was real enough - coined by one F Mercury, I believe, or perhaps it was the 'Chocolate Bar', after the painters couldn't be bothered to paint over the old numbers on the doors when they came to put new ones up. "Put 38D on this one", he was alleged to have said! Jimmy U laughed like a drain when he heard!
