APE got it right!
Wonder what Monarch Man would make of a Mil Airfield that told him to join 24 right
HAND?
And, come to think of it, how would he handle VFR circuit joining instructions to a parallel runway situation (if the mil ever got a place with parallels!) “join, 24 Right, right hand, QFE etc”.
On another thought; picture the scene with a 24L, right hand!
For the avoidance of doubt, I am being mischievous.
