Happy Proclamation Day Queensland

By the way Jaba, I once heard an exchange between BN Centre and an F-111 that went something like this:
BN CEN : "Buckshot 44, maintain best speed"

Buckshot 44 : "I'm not sure you really mean that so how about I maintain 600 knots and save us both the glass bill."

BN CEN : " OK, Buckshot 44, maintain 600 knots"

'Twere a while ago and the words may not be verbatim, but I remember smiling at the pilot's laconic reply.
