Would that be a CAIEDOC? Is that some welsh dept?

Just to split hairs -

OPCOM is usually held by the Joint Commander (for usual UK deployments this owuld be CJO) who normally delegates OPCON to the Joint Task Force Commander. Componant Commanders are more than likely given TACOM of assigned forces.

Of course in these days of Coalition Air Ops and various national 'red cards' a new system has evolved:

OPCAN
OPCAN'T
TACWILL
TACWON'T

Ok, where do BritFlik ROMCOMS fit in? And why is Hugh Grant in them all?

Someone once told me that the Fairy Gannett had a device/tube which could be deployed beneath the aircraft and which was termed in the Tech Pubs the OMD.

No translation was offered.

However, the story goes that this was Fairy's Tech Writer's abbreviation for Old Maid's Delight - a name bestowed by the factory maties when they were building the first example. Can this be true?
