Wire 5 nostalgia.
When I joined the RCCS in 1958, I got my Standing Orders (as DCD 404s were called then) on Wire 5 and others before I had my provincial driver's license. Being young and receptive to instructions, double clutching was easy to learn.
Back then, it was mandatory to have a co-driver so that you both could increase your situational awareness. Drivers following could barely see the hand signals from the cab because of the protruding design of the box.
Common reference to a Wire 5 was "Gin Palace".
