"Air Force One" (B707/C-137) was visiting UK back in the 1960s. Crusty old Colonel captain decides to visit a few RAF airfields to do some crew training. These were the days before secondary radar.

AF1: "Air Force One checking in and requesting a PAR"
RAF: "Roger Air Force One, can I have your present position, heading and height?"
AF1:"Look Buddy, you've got the goddam radar, you find us!"

After a couple of identification turns Air Force One is now on dog leg to finals.

RAF: "Air Force One you are now on dog leg to finals just confirm your aircraft is multi-channel VHF equipped?"
AF1 "Affirmative"
RAF:"Right then old boy, you find the Final Controller!"
