I have a dozen pages from the Gradation lists of general officers (including Brigadiers) but nicknames are not shown.

My carrier

..is called "Bucky the wonder carrier" by the crew.

(But not for any good reasons)

Perhaps the nickname of Buckingham, one time Director of Ceremonial?

And your point Terry? :) The question was about BUCKingham not ROCKingham - unbless Rockingham was known as Bucky in which case it all becomes clear.
PS - Saw you on parade yesterday - looking good.
