A selection from sqns various at LBH early 80s to 90s:

Gimlet - little boring tool
Jellyhead - Never knew what was wobbling about in there
The Vicar - very misleading moniker (allegedly)
The Major - could have played a leading part in a WWII movie, correct bearing, moustache and clicky-heel brogues
Biffo - the bumbling bear
Jenny - surname Taylor
Muttley - everyone knows who that is (aka "grande baleine écossais" in some parts)
Cannon - beacause he looked like a TV fictional detective of the same name
Podge - same bloke, "purveyor of duff gen"
Elvis - exceptional nav who turned up late for an early sqn mass brief (the late great, geddit?)
Sue Fartless/Useless Fart - anagrams of his real name
