Good memories of the old FS: Talking to someone who had local knowledge. Someone who knew the local aircraft and pilots and their little foibles. Someone who could look out the window and give a useful appraisal of the weather. And the really cute one at Kalgoorlie that we all fell in love with.
Bad memories of FS: The pr!ck at Alice who thought he knew how much fuel I needed and would not approve my flight plan unless I carried it. Eventually he came to understand that we had the world's only F27 with 7 hours endurance, that could cruise at 250 knots and also carry a full load with all that fuel. Whatever it took to humour him....

Mach, I think that you will find that "The pr!ck at Alice who thought he knew how much fuel I needed and would not approve my flight plan unless I carried it." was an ATC'er, as far as I know FSO's did not have operational approval only ATC. GRIFFO will know for sure.

Correct!!
All we could do as FSO's, was to check the fuel figures in minutes, as submitted, for the 'usual' of flight time + fixed reserve + variable reserve + any holding / alternate required for destination etc.
Pretty much to ensure that you were aware of any 'requirements'...
What you burned was up to you, as long as you said you had enuf, we gave it a litle green 'smiley' alongside the time/date stamp and put it into the system....
The little green 'smiley' was our 'approval'.....
