No idea how true it is, but heard from more than one person. Anyone care to confirm or deny?!
Not exactly.
She got the nickname on the OCU.
The SOP for Herc Navs was to give the pilots the drift so that you could adjust the downwind leg in the visual circuit.
The story goes that our heroine was a little bit behind the aircraft and, having asked for the drift a couple of times, the student Captain came out with the immortal line:
"Oi, give me the f***ing drift, bitch!"
She was also known on the Sqn as 'Nav Bag'.
