On 2 of those days we did fishery protection sorties, so there is a 50% chance we were in the English channel at some point that week.
I do remember the photo, but cant recall if we took it or not.
The picture was taken on Nov 18th, 1044z.
According to the Sqn records, on November 18th there were two flights from Kinloss. Crew 6, launched at 0355z and Crew 3 (Flt Lt W H M Mot), launched at 0855z. So, it is look like your crew took the picture!
What is the correct jargon at the time for a submarine radar contact? A goblin? And a contact from a sonobuoy is call "buoy # is hot?" (as in the US Navy)
