I´ve always thouht BST would be British Standard Time but who cares about it anyway what I think ... my fault!:FI:Nellip wrote:Times a bit confusing for me - 21 BST (British Summer Time?) but we are still using GMT at the moment until we put the clocks forward - so I guess that mean 20 GMT?
If I can get my head around the timings I might make it!

"UTC" redirects here. For other uses, see UTC (disambiguation).
Coordinated Universal Time (UTC,--Fr. Temps Universel Coordonné) is a high-precision atomic time standard. UTC has uniform seconds defined by International Atomic Time (TAI), with leap seconds announced at irregular intervals to compensate for the Earth's slowing rotation and other discrepancies. Leap seconds allow UTC to closely track Universal Time (UT), a time standard based not on the uniform passage of seconds, but on the Earth's angular rotation.
Time zones around the world are expressed as positive or negative offsets from UTC. Local time is UTC plus the time zone offset for that location, plus an offset (typically +1) for daylight saving time, if in effect. UTC replaced Greenwich Mean Time on 1 January 1972 as the basis for the main reference time scale or civil time in various regions.[1]
UTC is also referred to by the military and civil aviation as Zulu time (Z).[2][3]
Yeah, absolutely agreed! That was big fun again after we had such a clash of squads years ago as far as I can remember. It was interesting to see how we were handling the different situations and for a moment I had even the feeling that we had the air superiorty. Anyhow, this needs to be repeated!:FI:Gadje wrote:Congratulations to the =BgAF= for an overwhelming victory last night
And thanks for leaving our farm animals and women afterwards (obviously poor taste in such things these boys)
And a big S! to the few M8's who did turn up. Hopefully we can do this again.
