Re: Punch and Judy ??

Taken from several sources on RAF slang etc.

Judy - Take over (or "am taking over") the interception
Punch - You should very soon be obtaining a "contact" on the aircraft that is being intercepted.

Judy - R/T code; controller's signal to a pilot, to take over interception of enemy aircraft
Punch - R/T code; ground controller's signal to a pilot that he is following the echo of the correct enemy aircraft.
