Did you see the RAF Scampton to become Lincoln International Airport 
The building design looked impressive though.

Anyone remember Lossiemouth in the early 80's when the Staish used to appear at Met Briefing and sit down to: 8.30 in 5 4 3 2 1 - but the actual time was set on his a*** hitting the chair. For a correct time hack we had to look elsewhere?
Whatever is this puerile 'hoorah' nonsense? It sounds appallingly Uhmerkan Mreenkaw or similar?
At one station where I served, they used to put the speaking clock over the PA at Met Brief - that stopped all nonsense from self important wheels thinking that the world revolved around them!

Given modern watch technology, it all seems a bit antiquated. My watch sets itself to the correct time on its own. It never needs charging or winding either.

Was sitting in an American military eatery in the early 80's, RAFG.
We were chomping away happily on a bench table in the far corner.
Massive person in one of those little hats stands filling the door and screams "Airborne"!.
The assembled, hundreds of 'em, stand up and scream "Fight"!
We were surprised.

Casio Waveceptor in my case. Even looks like a watch!

My original solar-powered Casio Waveceptor is still going strong without servicing since 2005.
Significant time differences between pips on FM, DAB and web, Windows time from the web, and that given by my recently-synchronised Waveceptor make it difficult know which to believe.

My Ceptor is pretty spot on with the TV and FM Radio, via the aerial rather than the web. Too far in the sticks for DAB. My car has a DAB option. On the 12 mile drive to the shops, I get around 4 mins of audio, the rest is no signal!
Timelord - ex GRs actually…
BEagle - to be “Uhmerkan” it would be “Oorah” for the Corps. The proposal of “Hoorah” would be more like Bertie Wooster (probably apt, in this case!).
Finally, why do folks think it’s alright to photograph a screen on a classified computer (all right, it’s only OFFICIAL) and then wonder why the Military Rozzers start to get excited and want to ‘feel their collar’. All a bit naive really, isn’t it? If you want to spread rumour there is no need to take a photo of it, making a pretty pants attempt to redact it and then leave some of the names in the distro list!
