RAF 1942-45 Official phoentic alphabet was:
Apple Beer Charlie Dog Edward Freddy George Harry In Jug/Johhny King Love Mother Nuts Orange Peter Queen Roger/Robert Sugar Tommy Uncle Vic William X-Ray Yoke/Yorker Zebra.
(There were many variations in regard to aircraft identification - one 406 Sqn RAF Beaufighter was "B- Bambi" and its nose art was that character)
The one given by Andy was used by the British Army at that time.
