Go to pdf pages 55-58.

For Valiant Profile Flight 12th August 1960, 7 Squadron, Honington.

p55 - Air Traffic Control Flight Plan
p56 - Briefing/De-Briefing Proforma
p57 - Loading Sheet
p58 - Flight Authorisation Book
p89 describes the nature of the flight as 'Training 'Profile' Flight consisting of two Navigation Stages, each of over 800 miles and 4 simulated bombing attacks against UK Radar Bomb Score Units. Crew briefed on type and duration of exercise to be carried out by 'A' Flight Commander who instructed them to 'self brief'. This is appropriate for this type of routine exercise'.

From the Air Traffic Control Flight Plan I put together a simple map of the route. As I'm no navigator it is probably inaccurate but it's an effort!
