We need to keep this one at the top of the leader board - even if Wholigan and I have to scan the Imperial War Museum exhibits to do it!
Legend relates that, in the early 1950s, when even BEagle was in short trousers, Wholigan had a LEGITIMATE interest in 12-year olds and GICASI didn't know what GICASI stood for, an AOC ('airship' in yoof speek) was inspecting a station. As was the wont, in those days, the 'blunties' paraded at the front but the aircrew, who couldn't ebven march in them days, stood at the back in front of the aircraft (Ansons!).
Just as he started down the aircraft line, the AOC turned to the Staish and said:
'Anybody here I should know?'
'Yessir! - third crew along, very tall chap with handlebar moustache - Master Pilot (Remember them?!!) Szimieczin. Polish - DFM, AFM and the Polish VC'.
AOC stops in fron of third crew. Looks up at very tall Master Pilot.
'Ah! Szimieczin. How long have you been here?'
PAUSE - then VERY LOUDLY
'Thanks to you Sir, all fuc75n' day!'
