The first post that is true. The Scottish BA staff called it the Budgie as soon as it arrived at GLA. I seem to remember at that time there was a comedian
on TV who worked his act around budgies and the one about a Gulf airline hostie asking an Arab with his pet Hawk on his shoulder if his budgie would like some seed.
When BEA Scotland received their two Short Skyvans they became Jocks Box.
