Hi all,
Thank you guys for the interest and help on this!
I've started to put together a bit of a rough timeline based on your service dates:
Chugalug2: 1959 to 1973, Wooden, painted the same colour as the crayon contained
Timelord: 1973 to 1995, Plastic - confirmed by ex82watcher: 1980's, Plastic
DODGYOLDFART: 1999, Wooden, Staedtler omnichrom 108
I wonder what current aircrew fly with? Are the Staedtler pencils still the thing?
Excuse the question, but what would you typically note down on a knee board anyway? Would it depend on the type of flight? Would you make notes there pre-flight, or during?
Cheers, Scott.
