Of course, there are sometimes “language problems”. One day a German pilot did an outbound flight to another airbase. After touchdown tower made the following radio call to him: “Lefty 42, please call the marshaller insight”. The pilot had tower repeat the transmission several times. Not knowing or not understanding what tower meant by “marshaller insight”, he replied: “Sir, I will call him via landline”.
