Has Darwin ATC got the plague?

[Dog One]

Noticed taxying out the other day that Darwin ATC are flying a flag with yellow and red squares on their flagpole. Does this signify that they have the plague and are in quarantine?

[No Further Requirements]

I think this is why....

Some may say yes, but I believe the real purpose of the flag is the status of ATC. That is, the raised flag indicates that ATC is manned. I believe it is a tradition that hass fallen by the wayside in modern times. Anyway, hope that clears it up. BTW, would love to see the NOTAM: YPDN AD - LIMITED ATC SERV AVBL DUE PLAGUE. ACFT ARE ADVISED TO TAXI QUICKLY PAST ATC TOWER TO AVOID ILLNESS. SUDEN LOSS OF SERVICES MAY OCCURR DUE DEATH OF CONTROLLER.

Cheers,

NFR.

BTW, Dog, what were you taxiing past in?

[Fission]

NFR, now be careful, you'll have all the drivers taxying past at V2,
apart from virgin (apparantly!)

I thought yellow with red squares meant the POX.

What have you lot been up to????
