.... they are airfield 'fitness' colours, used by military:

From BLU best, through WHT GRN YLO (1 and 2), AMB and RED. I'll try and

One to be going on with ... though it's not up to date wrt YLO, because
that has been split into YLO1 and YLO2, but you get the general idea.

Thanks guys, I needed to know FAST!

Neighbours and family were MOST impressed when I phoned them an hour
before the snow TS arrived, with precise details of what would happen
and when

I believe BLACK covers things such as very strong cross-wind, iced-up or
snowbound runways or crash on runway......
