ut pilots foxs and chocolates

first of all in the raf we tend to say fox instead of foxtrot, probably becuase in air to air combat the kills are called fox ie fox 1 2 and 3. when i broke down on the m6 a few years ago i told the police my registration and the operator said "fox do you mean foxtrot?" so i explained that we called it fox. at cranwell the students used to visit us once a month. one day one of the arab students came in with a harrods bag, inside were two boxes of lose handmade belgian chocolates that hed brought as a present for us! these boxes were the size of a shoe box, it took us hours to eat them! imcontemplating doing my ppl or should i say nppl, although im used to speaking on the rt im not looking forward to it.
