Err when did I last use a whizz wheel at work?

Last used in anger on my Gen nav exam for my ATPL's

Tried to use it for planning on my IR and got laughed at and shown the clock face, max drift method. Back in the bag again.

CPL, didn't even think about using it.

PPL instruction, took it out the bag about once every 2 months to show a student the differences between a CRP 1 and 5.

As a first officer: used the edge of the wind bit to scrape the ice off a hire car window.
