As we were transiting the Lichfield RVC one evening, the ATCO asked what type of navigation system we used in the (pre-EGI) VC10K - it was in the time before the RVC was realigned with the Coningsby and Brawdy TACANs..

"A food*-powered universal navigation system - and he's sitting 2 ft behind me!" was my reply.

Tankertrashnav, haven't you heard of 'SODCAT'? 'Society of Directional Consultants and Allied Trades'.

Navigation is now mostly done by multiple INS/GPS - but Garmin can't cook beef olives over ROZ2 as Tengah Type could!


*In Tengah Type's case, quite a lot....!
