Allegedly there was a female nav at Lyneham who was known as Drift Bitch. The story I heard was that during a procedural instrument approach the young lady (new to the sqn and keen to show off her skills) started pattering the approach plate (joining for a sector blah, QDM is blah etc etc) and the handling pilot apparently said "shut up and tell me what the drift is". No idea how true it is, but heard from more than one person. Anyone care to confirm or deny?!

Before anyone criticises I'm not suggesting that what she was saying isn't good CRM/SOP etc, merely reporting what I was told.
