Gee in the Varsity was a rapid fixing aid!
Gee 2 about a 6 minute exercise except when pretend flying a "supersonic" Canberra in the D.R. sweat box where eventually your pencil was outpaced. However this seasoned one such that a 3 minute cycle was easy with Gee 3. In fact once I managed a 2 minute cycle for the length of England.

​​​​​​​ AFAIR the upper limit of UK airways in the 50s was something like 12000ft, not that we had the nav kit to use them.
I thought it was 10 thou but I'll accept 12 but early '58 it became 15000ft'. With this came FLs and all the other gubbins upwards and above FL 290.
