Was not the Commonwealth phonetic alphabet "W" for "William" at the
time? It would not be a stretch for crew to link it to a wolf.


Actually I think it was one of the few that carried over into the ICAO
phonetic.
I'll have to look it up (if I can find a copy somewhere) but I'm fairly
sure it was 'whisky'.
