When I was working at Sumburgh back in 1972, I returned from lunch to find a piece of paper on the controllers desk with '160/18' written on it.
I was told that it was the wind direction/speed which I had to pass to the pilot of the BEA Viscount which was due to depart shortly.
No I don't remember what the wind actually was but it wasn't 160/18!!
