LAGR and QID callsigns

[Kodakman]

So, after all the speculation, did anyone in the know explain the difference between Lagar, Quid, and the latest Hobo call signs ? Is there is logical explanation ?

[Agent K]

I have heard it pronounced several times as LAGGER as in the person who insulates pipes and tanks, nothing to do with the fizzy fighting juice.

Which might be LAGER with an American accent? (not being facetious, I've spent a lot of time in the USA and heard numerous pronunciations of said word)

Is Hobo the call sign used by tankers on TDY?

[gyvespa]

So Quid has been explained.

Isn’t Lager (or however it may be spelt) German for camp ?
Could this originate from US bases in Germany ?
Perhaps a Tanker from another wing based (camping) at the hall.

HOBO isn’t that someone who doesn’t have a home ? A tanker perhaps that isn’t based somewhere but operates from here, there or anywhere, as needed.

Hobo Definition ‘ noun
One who wanders from place to place without a permanent home or a means of livelihood’

Makes sense to me.

I think the straws have been well and truly clutched there.

QUID and LAGER are self explanatory, they're British "things" that the 100th ARW are proud to have as part of their identity.

HOBO, and the other couple of callsigns regularly used, seem to be related solely to missions supporting operations around Ukraine, so are unlikely to be allocated to specific units.
