No. 10 reminds me of an RNZAF story.....
Back in WW2 the RNZAF tried to teach a group of Chinese pilots to fly Corsairs. Unfortunately the language barrier was a major difficulty so they taught the Chinese the appropriate radio calls by the simple "say this phrase here" technique. After one memorable wheels up landing where the Corsair underwent reverse manufacture, the fuselage wound up in a ditch beside the runway the tower received the call.... "Corsair 91 is clear off runway".
