Aah! The magic Urea!
When we received the first issue we were warned about its over enthusiastic use ... apparently a certain airfield had used its entire annual allocation in a couple of weeks of icy weather. The airfield had maintained its 'Black Top' status throughout the 'snow event' (current parlance, eugh!). All was well, the CO had gained plenty of 'Brownie Points' in keeping his airfield operational and the training graph climbing.
However, come the BoB Cocktail Party, when the great and the good including the Regional Health Officer (RHO) came for a sherbert or two, it became apparent where all the run-off of the now diluted Urea had gone to, the local watercourses. The RHO was much enlightened to realise why the local townspeople had had a spate of tummy ailments ... a run of bad luck one might say!!
