"Hellooo, this is the Doctor Pringle Home for Wayward Girls, how can I best help you?" (Delivered with a bogus Scottish accent.)

There was once an RNZAF Station Commander, a Gp Capt Doug St George, who had the habit of ringing various sections and announcing "George here, can I speak to ...", to which the usual reply was "Gidday mate, howyergoin?"

At a certain 11 Group station in the 90's the Staish had a 'distinctive' accent. I had his voice off to a tee.

0430 (having taken drink) I rang the WOC Air Ops Desk.

"Wing Ops, SAC xxxxxxxx"

"Station Commander here, xxxxxxx"

"Morning Sir"

"Exercise Mineval, execute the Station Recall"

He did, without the return check call.

Boy, did I sober up quickly. After all these years I can 'fess up. Whoops.

208Sqn, Honington, when fitting Nuke Fairings (in a hurry) to Buccs:
"We've got more than 10% of the screws in - so that'll do a trip"

..and yes, we used that phrase much more often too:)

Others I remember...

Rocking horse Sh1t;

SWO on warpath, finds Fg Off Bloggs walking around camp in uniform not up to unrealistic standard, rests the end of his pace stick into JO's chest

SWO - "Fg Off Bloggs, there's a piece of Sh1t at the end of my stick'

Bloggs - "Not my end SWO"

A fast pacing JO exits stage left.

At a well known F4 base in the mid 70's I had the habit of ansering the line phone with 'Dogdyke pig farm, head pig speaking'.

Of course one day I had the two second silence and then 'This is OC Admin speaking, who is this?' To which I had the presence of mind to say 'I've just f....... told you, the head pig.' and quietly put the phone down followed by a rapid exit.

Investigations revealed nothing. We were a tight knit bunch.
Surely you mean nobody squealed.

"WRAF Block, duty screw speaking"

Once was involved in a fake medical procedure wind-up. The victim, Fg Off Bloggs, received a letter apparently from the RAF Chief Medical Officer, but didn't believe a word of it so phoned the number on the letter (which was genuine).
The CMO said "I send out a lot of letters, I'll check. Which Unit are you on?"

Ten seconds later the ops room phone rang
CMO "Is this a wind-up? What's the score?"

Thirty seconds later, crewroom phone rang
"Fg Off Bloggs? CMO here. This is a very important test, and I don't take kindly to having Fg Offs wasting my time with checks"

Top Notch VSO:D
Wind-Up continued to a most successful and embarrassing conclusion:E

On the phone 'Do you have any idea who you're talking to'?
No..
Well F*** Off then.. click.

Or whilst on overnight duty airman at St Mawgan..
Me: Hello is that JT T****L?
JT (sleepy): Ummmm Yes..
Me: Good Morning - it's 2 hours before your early morning call.

Or whenever anyone you know was on orderly dog and had to make a broadcast quickly dialing 252 to see if he'd remembered to take the phone off the hook...:)
