30 - my comments referred to the route in question.
I agree totally with what you both say about the 'rules', but you have to remember that it is all about statistics and putting in place added protection for a more limiting operation eg oceanic on two. The 400 miles from land is, I believe, a 'ditching' consideration anyway and is based on 'suitable land'? The 'adequate airfield' determinant is based on OEI speed and is not '400 miles'.

Q1: a 'partial yes' - the Leper Colony at LGW. 'EOG' would have been a better name. Q2: No-one else knows about that.
