Look at what is being taken apart.
And then look at the heap of sh*te with the corrugated-roof in the distance.
Let's just demolish St. Pauls, Blackpool Tower, The Palace Of Westminster, Edinburgh Castle. I mean, what thee f*ck do we need all this history for? Stonehenge is an ideal location for 300 executive-style detached 'homes'. And as for The Ring Of Brodgar........

Thanks, I'd long departed for Europe by then.

LVs are still around if you work at a unit without canteen facilites.

Chevvon: not for much longer :{

Those night duties in the tower could be exhausting....

HD? On a night duty? Surely not...

Well, there were some interesting things to look at... like the replacement strip transporter....

Ah, TLWM, say no more...

Terrain Safe


What have you heard?

Heard a rumour that they will be included into basic pay so no more LVs. Mrs TS so enjoys using them in the local supermarket.

Not a bad idea...fed up handing them over like "free dinner tickets".....or explaining for the millionth time that You DO take them...anyway back to Hounslow :)

Was there really two of you on a night duty HD ? Wasn't Wendy lovely;)

Only until it bandboxed, Brian, then it was me on my lonesome.

Plus a lighting op, usually snoring - sorry instantly alert!:ok:

Can one of you tell us interested folk what all the bits an bobs are on the desk?

Anemometer (2 square displays), DFTI (distance from touchdown indicator, 2 round display at the top usually one centred to monitor deps and one offset to show the tfc on final), RVR display, Grids of small rectangular displays one for each runway, between them is the loudspeaker for when you take your headset off, phones R/T along the bottom and in the middle the large screen was the SMR, surface radar for poor vis. If I remember correctly the TV screen at the side was a slot monitor.
Not forgetting the Mk2, and inferior, data transfer system - metal chute to pass the strips from GMC to Air.

Thanks, windowjob, I read jock's post without specs as 'bit with boobs'...

So was the desk ever christened?

Which desk? :}

Be careful now.....you don't want to upset boy George!
