ANSA, I stand corrected. Looking at the map again and thinking it over, the aircraft did indeed track NNE in the end and not NW as previously mentioned.
This probably clears up alot of things and I guess I should put my helmet on now to protect myself from the bombardment of abuse I will receive from a certain Kaptain amongst the forums.
Cactus - as for losing respect for those who'd rather humiliate an enthusiast than help him out. It was done long ago.
It's all well and good that you have a job with a airline now Kaptain, but I'd put my left knacker on the line to say that you too asked a few questions when you were a keen youngster. Or were you born with ATPL theory? If so, lucky boy...
And as for being moderate, modest & mild... One might sense you're groping your control column a little too hard. Relax a bit - you might make a friend or two.
