Misheard Callsigns
I see my post #7 from a few years ago is still causing some debate! Just for the record, the incident I described was from the early 1980s when Cathay Pacific were flying B747s to Gatwick.
HD.
On a similar theme, many years ago, I heard a USAF MAC estimating "Saint Rumble" instead of Strumble, and also "Worthington" to which the controller replied "Mines a Double Diamond"
Long time ago and rubbish beer.

I suppose the opposite to confusable callsigns are the super-verbose ones:
RT CALLSIGN: AERO AGUASCALIENTES
AGENCY: SERVICIOS DE AEROTRANSPORTACION DE AGUASCALIENTES S.A. DE C.V., MEXICO
Now defunct.
