Oh jolly .....i do love a good game of hangman ...... i,ll have an "e" please John.
Other than "Bert" "Butch" and the usual Bomber Harris,... the only other nickname i have heard was "Ginger"....which Harris disliked apparently.

"Tubby" Harris? .....surely not? .....it would take a braver man than i!

He was not, however, a particularly chatty or approachable man. He enjoyed his food and, even in 1939, was becoming rather portly as his job kept him increasingly tied to a desk. Indeed, he was known in Lincolnshire as “Tubby” by the men he commanded and the name persisted here even when the newspapers came to call him “Bomber”.

"Tubby" Harris,.....i wonder what he thought about that sobriquet?
