You can't make those things up!

In the early 90s when Laarbruch was becoming a hovering station - the ex-20 Sqn hangar (soon to be 18s new abode) was refurbished and a new Groundcrew crewroon was added to the old tin hut, complete with new kitchen, washing and toilet facilities all built by local contractors to drawings made up by the newer version of the Ministry Of Public Blunders & Wonders.
The extension was completed on time and possibly within budget - and handed over to the Station - and all appeared well until the sign on the gents toilet was noticed....queries were raised but the sign was correct and in keeping within the specifications on the drawings which required a sign suitable for the gents toilet...the sign read:



"Suitable for the Gents Toilet"
