In one of Betty's aeroplanes operating out of Gib when this was overheard circa mid seventies;
‘Seville, Britannia 123’ – no answer.
Again ‘Seville, Britannia 123’ – still no answer.
Another voice; ‘Seville there is a Britannia 123 calling’
Seville replies; ‘Ask Britannia his departure point and destination’
‘Britannia, for Seville, what is your departure and destination?’
‘We are climbing out of Tangier, destination Luton’
‘Roger that – Seville he is climbing out of purgatory on wings to Paradise!’
