On a different Sqn at Kinloss they had a chap known as Otter. His wife hated the name and complained to the Boss.
Instead he became NOtter - Not Otter
After another complaint he became SNOtter - Still not Otter
After the final complaint he became SNATCHO - Still not allowed to call him Otter
Lovely chap!

Recall someone at TTTE Cottesmore - Not sure if staff or a student, but used to cycle into work from Oakham religiously, whether rain or shine.
Managed to collide with the rear end of a big Swedish built estate car one morning in nasty weather and impacted his forehead with the tailgate, leaving quite a nasty imprint of the manufacturer's name in reverse...
Thereafter known as "OVLOV"

One of our Flight Engineers, having been pulled up by the Fat Controller over his 10 O'clock shadow, was heard to complain that the Nav in question had more hair on her upper lip than he did!
