I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

Warmtoast, those VHF/DF operators were a boon to baby navs. Wending our war up to Wooler on early radio position line exercises the pilot would call up MsG or Acklington for a QTE. After a pause to allow for the reply we might hear ABC12 this is Silloth, your bearing that time was nnn. Two for the price of one.

There was also a deal with the Scily Island Homer. They would bill the RAF for each bearing. Using them meant they got paid; if they got paid they stayed open
