Chugalug,
Be pleased to know that you fooled a youngster many moons ago.
One of the things that got my interest in aircraft going was the use of a suitable radio
It may be of some quiet satisfaction for you to know that we knew that many like yourself were listening in, not so much to routine ATC calls, but to our calls to company. Fearing that calling in a list of defects to the engineers would generate a "Shock Horror Probe Scoop" from the Fourth Estate along the lines of "Stricken Airliner Survives Failure of Vital Equipment", we were told to simply give the appropriate Manual paragraph references. After a period of mayhem, whereby instrument snags generated an entire engine change team meeting the aircraft on arrival, we reverted to calling the snags in clear again.
