Tower: RAF typhoon, cleared to land runway XX; three down and locked?
Pilot: Sod Off Yank, We know what we're doing!
Tower: Received typhoon, you're the boss.
Good times,
Blake

Called him "top gun" twice in the article - those Brits have quite a sense of humor.
Perhaps if he had practiced some touch-and-go's in his girlfriend's backyard like a certain newly-winged RAF pilot, he would not have forgotten his procedures.
