  • Our SA Air Traffic Controllers Were Very Naughty Following The World Cup Win [Audio]

    It’s only been five days since we won the Rugby World Cup (how good does that sound? Say it out loud one more time), and we’ve already written plenty about that success.

    If you’re catching up, here are some great articles in the aftermath of the win, THOSE two tries with 3D camera angles, gutted English fans, the changing room antics and speeches, the story behind Faf’s undies, musings on our next Springbok coach, and Mapimpi’s F-Bomb on arrival home.

    Invictus 2? We be having it.

    We did skip over a few honourable mentions, though, including a rather cheeky celebration from our air traffic controllers.

    Here’s Aviation24:

    South African air traffic controllers have guided out last night’s British Airways flight from Cape Town, South Africa to London Heathrow, United Kingdom with a special squawk.

    On 2 November, South Africa stunned England in the Rugby World Cup 2019 final with a historic 12-32 victory. Good reason for the air traffic controllers to assign squawk 1232 to the Boeing 747 (G-CIVB).

    You can see the ‘squawk’ in the bottom right of the image above. 12-32, or 32-12, was the World Cup final score.

    For those unfamiliar with the term, the squawk (also called a discrete transponder code) is assigned by air traffic controllers to easily identify different aircraft on radar.

    It sounds even better when it’s read out loud. Hang around until after the 30-second mark and you’ll hear the penny drop:

    He took it in good spirits, so respect on that front.

    Don’t forget to be a gracious winner, but also to send this to your English friend who can take a joke (and maybe Piers Morgan) at 11:28 today:

    Thanks, Nick
