To start the bidding, I can tell you that the bloke who ran the bookshop at the top of my street when I were a lad, had been a QF nav on 707s.
As for methods... I can't help, sorry. I think things like LORAN/triangulation of beacons was the go (but that's a guess on my part).
And I'm STILL waiting for my emails to Longreach to be even acknowledged, let alone answered!
