    Ooo I know that one, i saw it on something or read about it...

    Anyways I think its something to do with a man flying a light aircraft in a barn or something. Actually I might have just made that up completely. :blush:

    R is Romeo in the phonetic alphabet (sorry small point but i do have a radio operators licence).

    I think however that it used to be Roger - in the old photetic alpabet but the alphabet was standardised so that all countries now use the same word with each letter - previously they all used different ones.

    Anyway Roger means message received and understood - the r standing for recieved.
