and the aircraft recovering in 10/10 clag were talked down by a 19-yo WRAF Controller

Gracious me!

Whenever was 10/10 phased out, all I can remember is Oktas?.

Oktas [eighths] were introduced simply because it was considered easier to divide the sky in the mind's eye that way. How on earth could tenths be estimated?
