At one time when one was serving at Shawbury - mid-80s maybe? - we had officers on the Station by the names:
Goode, Toogood, Best & Perfect |
27mm - you missed a few off your rogues gallery on page 1: Elvis, Possum, Goat, Vidal and Cocky (RIP).
Happy Days! |
2Planks, you're right; I also missed PB (RIP). Little grey cells going....

Two from my time at ISK. A Flight Line Mechanic nicknamed "Throm". Short for thrombosis - medical definition: A slow moving clot.
An engine man,not the sharpest tool in the box, first name Stu, Crew room name - Pid. |
Pilot on 47 was given the handle 'Gimlet' (a small boring tool).
|
On a slightly different tangent, we had a JT Bond.
Last three - 007 |
My first sqn cdr nicknamed "flymo" as he used to hover over us leaving little piles of cr*p everywhere.
|
We had an over-excited OC Ops who we christened "Luke Ceilingwalker", but I don't think the name got used outside ATC.
However, that's slightly off-topic. |
Years ago there was a Stn Cdr in Masirah with a speech impediment. When he used the tannoy his broadcast sounded like "This is the Cleo", after which he became known as Cleo. There was an open competition on the station to name the newly constructed street system so the suggestion was put forward that the road to the Officers' Mess should be Cleo Lane

At 2SofTT years ago there was a particularly dense student by the surname of Plank. Someone at Innsworth must've had a funny moment and given Plank a Service Number where the last 3 - no, last 4 were..................
0000! |
22 Course, 1 FTS Linton, had a Plt Off Head, first name Richard...
|
Wildenrath had a supply officer surname HUNT...forename Mike!!

As said before, don't parents think, or perhaps they didn't love him.

A delightful music student I once knew had the rather unfortunate surname of Titty. Even more unfortunately, her parents had seen fit to christen her Ophelia. |
