Yes, Tourist old chap, worked with both bunches. One shows up to the de-brief with its Ready Brek pictures with arrows showing small areas of stodgy Ready Brek with arrows pointing to them saying 'possible armour' and 'possible vehicle'...although never the bracket afterwards that should say '(possibly not)'! They are usually presented to a quizzical audience by a really confident guy with a QMETI patch (or whatever it is) who in fairness probably worked quite hard to show you a box of static with a small rectangle of static hidden in it.

The other lot (the lot to whom the thread actually refers) are the ones that you check in with, they sound like someone is oscillating their voice box at 12 Hz and someone else is running a food processor behind them. They are the ones that tell you that there is a rotator where the rotators were briefed to be and that they have a mover...wait for it...on the MSR!

Back in the day the same bunch would be half way through telling you where all the 'No Play Strangers' were when the ship got bounced by the Super-Es who hadn't had the decency to wait for the Bagmen to finish their clock code lunacy before giving you what I hesitate to call 'Picture'!

Both MTI products eventually get merged into one of those really helpful maps with arrows going up and down roads.

Yup, that sounds about right.
