In 1985, DGA(N) (the late Rear Admiral Holley) asked staffs to think up a name for the new Sea Harrier radar trainer (for Blue Vixen). Glass of sherry with Ron for the winner. (His favourite means of complimenting staff. A real gent.)

A young Lt was given a career brief on his brief career for suggesting Sea Harrier Intensive Trainer (****). Sea Harrier Operational Radar Trainer won. And yes, it was SHORT of a radar, as the Staff Officer (Oz exchange officer to be fair) promptly announced it didn't need one. Just ignored him.
