Noting your profile CM, it appears you may work in BDN tower, in which case may I share a story. Probably before your time.
The scene: some years ago, I was a BDN trials officer running a crosswind trial. I had gone into work in a suit as usual, discovered it was out of crosswinds for everybody else, so I pressed the go-button.
First job, down to the tower (still in suit, and some non-ICAO neckwear that colleagues will know me for) with a set of pro-formas. Explain carefully to duty controller the need, during coming sortie, for detailed data from anemometers at the point of each T/O and Ldg. Controller listens, appears to understand, and takes proformas.
I go an change into flying kit, meet Dragcurve (my TP at the time), brief sortie, pre-flight a/c, start-up, taxi-out.
Whilst taxiing out, the following exchange occurred: -
Twr: "Gauntlet xx, tower"
DC: "Tower, Gxx, go"
Twr: "Gxx, we just had your boffin up here and he wants all these numbers written down. Do you really want this".
DC: (pause) "Hang on, he's just here, I'll ask him"
G: (Thumbs up)
DC: "Gxx, affirmative, the information is required"
It has to be said, the tower were ever so punchy for the remainder of the morning. But it does make the point that BDN is a test facility first and an airfield second. I'd love mind you to know why the Concorde went to Brize, how much were QQ going to charge BA for that?
