Butcher Radar, a previous poster may confirm, would observe the landing halfway down the runway and then hold up large score cards; [7] [2], [8] [1]., etc.
Apparently Air Support Command, or whatever the name of the day was, told them to stop it.
The score cards got even more disrespectful later - the landing got either a "Magic" or "Crap".
