Andruskiewicz

It always amused me that nearly 50 years since WWII Andrus still couldn't speak English properly whereas newly arrived Poles have it virtually as a second language. Deciphering his directives in the sim were time consuming enough but one episode rendered us all dumbstruck followed by unappreciated hilarity.
Ascot 4321 was on departure from Akrotiri in the customary gloom of the simulator when Sqn Ldr AtoZ suddenly hurled a pile of flight documents onto the captains lap with the following ejaculation;
"Emmerjencee! emmerjencee! Flamingo comes through vindow! Kills pilot! Copilot-Vot you do!?"
