Gunnery Instruction
'I sees an enemy aircraft ahead. It gets a bit closer, so I calls my mate, Bill and says," Enemy aircraft on the port bow, Bill. Get on the gun." So Bill gets on the gun. Then I says "Shoot the bugger down, Bill." And Bill shoots 'un down'

 From a wartime lecture given by a Trawler skipper to ratings under gunnery instruction
