On the subject of the MAY...
I remember in the South Atlantic a crew (both sadly no longer with us due to seperate CFIT accidents) excitedly ID'd a bogey off of the Falklands as "It's a COOT, no, no, it's a MAY..". Only to be told that the 'locals' had an Electra that they used for snooping about in as briefed in the standard intel pack up for the local theatre of ops brief. Oh, how we laughed at them in the bar that evening!
