AlanM;

The aircraft has lots of telly screens and moving maps, the trouble is you want to be looking outside in such busy airspace, not working out which bit of kit is taking you where or getting you lost as the case might be! In fact I often think that over-reliance on the kit is what causes problems in the first place rather than old fashioned eyes out of the window, finger on the map navigation. Use all the toys in their proper places.

I know you are not responsible for the mappery we use, but the mental image of you in chain mail and dodgy french accent defending West Drayton has kept my poor brain amused all morning!
