Chief Instructor at Oakington c1965

During a student's night flying test at Oakington, the examiner was the Chief Instructor, of Polish descent, who wore a monocle. During the test, the CI gave the student a simulated engine failure, to which the student responded with "Engine Failure Checklist starboard engine". At this point the CI was scrabbling round on the floor and his response was "You vill haff to vait. I haff dropped my v****ng monocle!!"
