Kinloss, late '80s.

My first love, the Nimrod, had those intercom/radio tx paddle switches. By flicking it across quickly, one could turn a radio transmission into merely an intercom one in mid-flow, without this being obvious to the rest of crew.

One dark and dirty night, a crew was coming home on a PAR at about 0200. The lead Nav was a guest, and happened to be the Sqn Nav Leader. His wife was an ATCO at Kinloss.

Female PAR Controller: "4nm - check gear"

Flt Lt pilot: "C/S three greens...(flicks paddle switch to intercom)...and any chance of a blowj*b?"

Growl from the back: "Flt Lt ****, my wife does not give blowj*bs"

Flt Lt pilot: "Bad luck, sir!"

Well, that's how I remember it...
