RAF Wattisham, 1989 or thereabouts, the Phantom force still going strong and the Wall still standing. One of the early colour photocopiers (a Canon if memory serves) was provided to the Sqn, having been rented by the Stn. It was excellent by the standards of the day, and it meant the lead nav could draw a few lines on a low flying chart and provide 7 copies for the rest of the 4-ship. Eventually there was a phone call from Supply Sqn, from an SAC who had been given the job of telling us to stop it, as our use of colour prints had exceeded all expectations. The problem was that each copy cost 35p, and we were way over the top of the budget, and there was a question about what we were doing that required so many.
It was explained that we were copying maps to use in the air. "But sir, we can provide maps instead..." was the reply. It was pointed out to him that the LFCs in question were £7 a pop and that one map would pay for 20 photocopies (even I could do the maths). I fired him back at his SNCO with an invitation to provide the rationale for spending an extra £40 every time we put a 4-ship into low level, never mind the time wasted in drawing on individual charts. Nothing further heard.
And before the banter starts, yes, we were Air Defence so looking at the maps was not really required.
