Then there was the Whirlwind Sqn in the Far East in the '60s who'd had a spate of blade and tail strikes going into clearings. The boss announced at morning brief that he would personally arrange for the next 'culprit' to be Court Marshalled. Of course, it was he, the next day. Known for ever after as Tail Rotor Pr**e - not to be confused with Bathroom Scales Pr**ce - but that's another story.
