You know you are an Ascoteer when;

Chocks are always between 2300 an 0300 coming or going.
You never landed at Akrotiri in the afternoon
You are not allowed to fly beyond 30W because MOD has run out of money
Lyneham runs out of 6mil charts for across the US
When on Argosies (what's that?) you knew the name of every mountain on the north Cento route
On Hercs you asked, "What mountains?" on the north Cento route
On Argosies it took you 4 days (Malta night stop, Akrotiri night stop, Teheran night stop)
to get to Bahrain, and you looked in awe? at a Herc man because "We can do it non-stop!!
When a Co could handle an imprest, giving you enough to have a good time and still hand you a fiver as you left the aircraft at home.
