Morning, FZ!!

1. Well, the MPN11 buttons and switches were marked up with luminous paint, when glowed brightly when the UV wand was waved over them. That's why we [at Strubby] wore dosimeter tags, changed monthly at SMC to ensure we were still capable of breeding!

2. Most GRSFs confiscated screwdrivers, I believe, but the Strubby crew were obviously trusted to keep theirs ... No such imposition in my time! Happy hours of twiddling to get the perfect settings on the radar!

3. The Cat Board had many trick questions, but that's a new one on me. I would hazard a guess that the weather minima made it unsafe to stay in the truck ... which assumes an [unmonitored] ILS was available. I await the answer from Danny
