From: Quite near 'An aerodrome somewhere in England'
On a ULAS black flag day when the Queen's Thundermunks were grounded by lashing rain and low cloud, we held an epic Uckers game which lasted for around the same length of time as the one to which Roland refers.....

Winners and losers were still in a merry frame of mind hours later - excellent for morale and team building!

An ex-Kipper fleet Wg Cdr and I were the only 2 on our MER course at Arthur Scargill International in the early '80s; one day he decided that we would take on the AFT studes at Uckers..... But the staff QFIs had other thoughts and sniffily handed out a quiz to the studes including such pointless questions as how fast the trees at Auckland airport grow. (It was in the Planning Doc!).

What a bunch of fun-detecting old miseries. Particularly the one to whom I was allocated - we nicknamed him 'Uncle Chuckles'.
