Ahh, yes - rather a dry sense of humour - his 'Elmer Fudd sings Springsteen' was short but spot on.

Fergie - for a time there (as I was as yet young and innocent) I thought it was normal to be seen off by various police organisations. Leaving Gib once we got a radio message asking the skipper to confirm there were no cannonballs on board the aircraft*...I think I remember a practise drop from ordnance in between message receipt and the innocent reply.

* Which, when you think about it, is really quite a bizarre message to receive at the start of your homeward transit, although it didn't seem so at the time.
