Odd query, I know ... can anyone remember (or perhaps you might
have a relevant 50-year old list to hand gr) the WMO station
number for RAF Langar in southeast Nottinghamshire which was
a synoptic station in the 1950s and early 1960s?

Hi there Philip. I seem to remember it was 03449, though my memory buds
are not what they once were.

Thanks, Derek. I can usually dredge up most of the numbers
from the late-1960s onwards, but there was such a big gap
in the 400s between Ternhill (418) and Cottesmore (453).
I'd deduced it was probably in the 440s, so 449 looks right.
