A couple of incidents re aircraft captains.
Mid-50s, flying from Fayid to Nairobi, the skipper called Nairobi and told them, 'Field in sight.'
'Roger, continue.' (Pause) 'Rafair M****, check your position.'
(Longer pause!) 'Rafair M**, with you shortly' . . as we altered course from Nairobi West to Nairobi International.
Different squadron, carrying a (fairly)SO, the skipper told the crew that the SO was to be addressed as the Captain and informed by crew members of any actions being taken. A while later . . . .
'Signaller to Captain . . .'
'Go ahead, Signaller'
'Signaller to Captain. I am just about to open my meal box and eat a cheese sandwich.'
Well, they seemed funny to me at the time.
