Nice post. As TicTac said the GMT is not much use in a modern cockpit. I do find it useful out of the cockpit to have UTC on my wrist when flight planing and checking weather forecasts. It is also a useful watch when overnighting in other time zones, because of its ease of set. As Pete said in his article GMT changed to UTC. (Universal Time Coordinated) This was because The French did not want to use a standard time zone that was based in England. The deadlock was defused by changing the name from GMT to UTC, although the "0" meridian still runs though Greenwich near London.
