Vampire with which you are obviously familiar
Would seem not CS. Shortly before he retired, the Governor General, Lord Casey, visited Pearce.

Previously, a young Navy student had been ordered to attend the CFI's office, and given the instruction that he was to present himself at XXXX hours on the following Saturday morning prepared to aviate. Student wondered what was up, as weekend work was never done, and he was the only one so ordered. Dire thoughts were at hand.

Turned out the G-G wanted to listen in on the "patter" used during a sortie. The arrangement made was for him to listen in on the tower frequency while the student and CFI conducted a session of turn backs, both to the cross runway and 180° in a Vampire.
