No Name Input
I cannot offer the names of the individuals..............
My first - when I was training at Valley in 1970, we had a young (well, old to us youth - but probably still in his 20's) Met Man who looked outrageous to our young military minds. He had long hair, tied in a pony tail...........
He usually gave us our morning Met brief and finished with "that is what I am required by Bracknell to tell you - but what is really going to happen is........."
He had local knowledge which Bracknell's computer did not have, and he was usually right!!
My second offering is a RN Met Man on (in??) HERMES in 82.........
The weather down south was not great, and one morning he put a black and white transparency onto the OHP (remember those??) of a fairly deep depression in our area....
"This" he said in serious MetMan tones "is known in meteorological circles as a Zebra's arsehole........"
