I am not sure which of us is in an old alternate-branch timeline here: I
haven't seen the term "non-U" for decades.

In specific context, I thought that the NZA suggestion that they would
not need to paint their planes yellow because the extra layer of paint
would slow them down and this would be demonstrated in the match -
yellow means slow

that is what NZA claimed prior to the match (and it seemed to be borne
out in practice)

== sorry, but we Brits have to make the most of Antipodean failures -
they are so rare that they usually only occur when one of you lot plays
another
