I was the controller when a certain Irishman did his first AAR.

After many unsuccessful prods the chase instructor said to call it a day and RTB.

"I'll have another go", replied an Irish voice.

"Why?", asked chase.

"Because I haven't got enough to get home", replied small Irish voice.

"Stupid barsteward", said chase.

Got straight in. Amazing thing adrenalin.

I was also the controller at Staxton when Porky flat spun out of a vertical scissors at 9000ft..... and got away with it.
