MILKING IT!

I was interested in the ‘Dub-Dees’ article, and I recollect that spotters in those days called them ‘Austermilkaterrities’. The origin of the nickname is that many teenage spotters would have baby siblings who would be fed on the baby formula of the day, Ostermilk, and the similarity of the first syllables proved irresistible.
