FV - Latina mea mortuus est quam mortissime, I'm afraid - only scraped 'O' level in 1965 and haven't had much desire to study it ever since! I think that means 'My Latin is deader than a dead thing' - but more probably means, "Two flats, two points and a packet of gravel please!". .. .On my first tour, an aviation historian on the sqn commented that one of the first tasks which Cheshire had undertaken during the war was to re-arrange his ops room - 'an event traditionally celebrated by most sqn cdrs ever since!'
