Its a flight late at night bringing the term 'back of the clock' might be say a MEL-DRW-MEL that leaves at 20:00 and returns at 05:00 the next morning.

Steve I'm guessing it means a red-eye special, or one that's started it's journey before midnight, but lands early in the new day.

Now that's something that's always confused me. Why do people pinch aeroplane seat belt extensions????
See Adam, it's not just the WYA pax that need them! If the nation keeps getting larger in the waist, then maybe extension belts will be supplied for every seat!
