An AUGC favourite for some time was Barbecue Base.
 
Justine will answer to Penguin Base:  when J was into scuba diving, she
would get all geared up and then waddle around the boat on her short
legs and weighed down by her tank almost exactly like a penguin.

G'day All,
 
I'm just watching 'The Sunship Game' at the moment, thought I'd write
off a lighter e-mail to help pass the time.  Just wondering what your
base station is called, and or, what's the best one you've heard of?
 
My favourite so far is Manders, 'Room Service'; and
 
The Woolley's base station is 'Johnny Walker'.  The reasoning, Grandad's
first glider ended in the rego Whiskey - it was his favourite drink at
the time!
 
 
Regards,
WPP

2008-01-29 Thread Patching 
My favourites included,
when I crewed for Bob Mc Cullough, Libelle H301, Comp No. 2. Base 2 to 2
Cubleys Big Red
Giles King George
and Yellow Bird (dads Boomerang) was Beatle Base
The worst. When the powers that be decided that base stations couldn't have 
names and we must use the call signs, (Narromine 1975) one long winded person 
used to say, Oscarrr  Hotel to  Oscarrr  Hotel Base, Do you read me Oscarrr  
Hotel Base. Over Not once but many times. Oscar Hotel Base didn't have a 
chance of answering.
Funny that these days, with so many pilots not having crews , have base names 
have become irrelalvent?
Cheers
