Thanks again Dave for the inspiring story. There is a LOT of LSO material (mostly more contemporary - so no flag waving) in my BIG PDF online available for a free download and always being updated. Having collected a lot more material about the paddling days - on and off - I never got around to attempt to fathom the many differences, until now. I'm still confoozzed.
Go here for BIG PDF download instructions but for a notso recent old PDF version:
SpazSinbad A4G - Fleet Air Arm Association of Australia (faaaa.asn.au)
The most recent version URL for a direct download: (I'll upload a new version today)

AFAIK - with [b]Adobe Acrobat Reader DC 64 bits.]
