When I was in Port Hedland, Western Australia, the pilots used to like reporting:

"At Intercourse Island, heading up Rosemary's Passage"!

Another chap had a stutter and gave us a heart attack one day reporting:

"Hedland this is ABC, Pan Pan Pan Panawonica this time estimating....".

Another time, Punk rocker Alfred (?) Newman flew in with his private PA31, painted completely black, with a bed in the back, rego G-NUMN or G-NMAN (I think). We went down to the air conditioned terminal, where he was hiding from the 40C heat, to say gudday. He was looking very dismal after flying across the Great Australian FA and said, "how do you stand here? Are there any squirrells?"! He lived with his mum, which didn't fit our image of a pommy punk rocker!
