My FLYING instructor was a Master Pilot.
And we had the last flying one on the OCU, one as a SWO and one in the tower


When bed packs were the norm in training, not duvets, and the toilet paper was the only Government white paper worth a poo..

( That had Government property written on each sheet, as if anyone would steal it, you could have waterproofed Noah's ark with it and if I was a betting man it probably still blocking up the local sewerage works. Bio degradable was not invented then. )

Lol worse than that it appears someone liked the stuff

Roll of Government Property toilet paper roll, similar to Izal. Issued in the 40's /50's. The house where we got them from was previously owned by ex RAF so I believe they were obtained then. There are different markings on these rolls, not sure why but the ones I have, have a square at the side of the writing. Each sheet has the same writing in. Apparently quite rare and I cannot find any for sale on the net. They are just mentioned in museums. They are all new but obviously show signs of wear from storage.
