BEA in the early 70s produced there own stuff with letraset. We picked up a nav bag for our area which contained three sets of airport info, sids and stars (three pilots), a forth book which was for take off performance and a FDR cassette which occasionally found its way into the Thames. There was an aerad book and a set of aerad charts in case we had a routing off our PLOGs which were A5 iirc and we folded them twice so that they would fit onto our individual clipboards and where we had to write all of our clearances down. Probably the reason why the other crew members didn't see the droop retraction at Staines.
The PLOGs and Navlogs were for the individual routes and contained a Letraset graphic of runways and sids..a route map with beacons, tracks and distances and star routes. All annotated with freqs and the sector minimum altitudes. If there was a change then we changed them by hand until a new batch could be printed.
They were collected from racks in queens building.
P3 was responsible for the nav log. Mid 70s we started getting a computer flight planning print out.
Iirc the kites at Duxford have some of the documents in them.
