IFF Question

Am teaching Radio and Radar to the local ATC sqn and seem to remember there was a ryhme or something to help you remember the IFF emergency codes, I think "77 going to heaven" is one

Hopefully this isn't the onset of some form of madness, can anybody help?

Cheers
Pete

Quite a few of those above are allocated to units operating in a warmer place if I remember rightly.

Card of the day from Redcrown used to decide what was what. If I remember correctly.
