FFF,
Sorry my post didn’t make it clear. My colleague was on the ground walking. We were in the army together and it had nothing to do with aviation. He just made a basic mistake on his time and bearing and put himself in front of a Battalion night attack. We had GPS at Company level but not at the time to platoon level. If he had had one he would not have goofed.
FFF next time you are over this side of the Pennines you will have to drop by for another Chilli and beers.
Got to go, the wife is now kicking off!!
