John, it's in my scrap book with a note on the back: "RAF Support Command Flight Safety Review and Digest 196..." and then I can't actually read the final figure, I think it's an eight... which would fit with my University Air Squadron days...

So, if it's anyone's copyright, it's some Erudite Neddie in the Minestrone of Deference... but, as that's a Government Department, and as the Neddies in all Government Departments are Crown servants, and as the Crown also is your Head of State, then I think you ought to be able to use it... with discretion and care, of course, in case some Top Neddie objects...

Err, chaps, are we not missing the point of setting STD in the first place?

Who cares what you have set as long as you all have the same thing set in the window.

If you are flying around Europe with the (technically more accurate) 29.92 set but everybody else has 1013 set, it is you who has introduced the 6.75ft error!
