Oh yes, I can see how this one would work.

ATC: Speedbird 148, hold short of the active, then clear cross after the Slapper.

Speedbird 148: Roger Ground, say again aircraft type, over.

Ascot 123: (Female Aircrew) Ground, did you call me a Slapper?

Oh yes, this will work.

But BW - perhaps if it's going to have that many people crawling up its ar$e, we should call it the 'Air Marshal'?

Boeing B*g**ll, anyone??

The recent posts are in the finest traditions of Service banter and its the main thing I miss since leaving...how about asking for a sub forum in the Military section titled "Line Book"?
