Null,
ISTR that Lockheed presented the tie when I was at Colerne as a well done for doing 1 full year of service on the aircraft. In those days (71 a 73) I also recall Lockheed sponsoring the team Christmas do, I can't remember ever paying for beer on any of them, or making a contribution. Hope that helps.
Hiya Gopher, nice to see you back again.
