Ohdearowsadnevermind.
Us lowly ATCA 3s on 'D' Watch at LATCC in '69/70 NEVER got a night off.
It wasn't until I transferred to LATCC Radar unit at Heathrow as an (Acting) ATCA 2 that I didn't work a rostered night duty.
(Course I suppose it cocked up some people's second jobs; several of the people on 'D' Watch used to do part time at Securicor which wasn't far from Porters Way)
