Thank you, and I am sorry. I am certain that Met. did not bin it.
I did three years at EDUO 1967-1970 with Hunters and I can honestly say that no TARWI crossed my desk, perhaps they had not been invented!
My next tour was as a senior weatherguesser at JHQ and we very, very occasionally saw a TARWI. In context, whereas the TARWI was meant for "on station" consumption, it should have reached me because I was responsible for the SIGWX forecast that was used for all NW Europe ............. and indeed would have been the primary document in a TTW scenario.
My third tour was as C Met O RAFG / 1BR Corps. The outstation S Met Os routinely whinged about lack of feedback, so I routinely whinged to SASO. To little effect.
I totally accept that a shagged out low-level pilot has a lot on his plate and I totally accept that a TARWI is well down on the priority list. **** happens, and we won the Cold War. Result.
