Four Types- nice one. I never had a tape, but asking, "Are we authorised for this, Sir?" usually sufficed. Only used for curtailing wazzing where it made me feel uncomfortable.
I did witness a junior pilot on 230 Sqn tell a 1* that HE was in fact the auth'd aircraft captain, and that only HE would decide if the weather was in limits. The airship was trying to push him into launching from Wegberg to get to his meeting on time. Kudos.
