I called them lots of names when I used to work on them. None of them could be repeated here though!
I sound like a broken record whenever someone mentions being in the RAF, but that's so cool! I realize it was probably mostly a frustrating, messy job, but getting to interact with former RAF personnel here is for me like how an ancient Athenian would feel if they were making pots next to Zeus.
I remember one of the lineys at Leuchars telling me (jokingly!) that if they didn't leak, they were empty!
