Helicopter humour

Many moons ago I was a crewman in a 72 Sqn Wessex flying along the London Heli Lanes. I think we were returning from a Medevac as we had a navigator on board. We were following the Thames in fairly ‘grobbly ‘ conditions, low cloud, poor vis, when the young pilot began to get concerned. “Do you know where we are, Brian?” he asked the navigator. “Haven’t a clue, but if it helps it’s quarter past four” replied the Nav … as Big Ben passed close down the port side! (I believe the Nav eventually went to the Queen’s Flight, presumably because he could tell the time!)
