Chinook - Still Hitting Back 3 (Merged)

[walter kennedy]

BOAC
A “funnel” 20 miles wide at the mouth!
A path over miles of hills (Antrim) that had bad conditions to a headland with (well, as we know) followed by a fumble up an irregular coast with bad weather along and off it.
And you say all experienced service pilots would do the same while there was an alternative over level, low ground in clear conditions followed by a straight handrail along the clear coast of Jura which I am quite sure would be a route of choice in those conditions prevalent for that day for a ferry flight to the Glen.
And indeed the other pilots had planned for this, had they not?
And the captain had his HoSI set up (with the TANS on waypoint B) to return to this track after whatever on the Mull.
And, if you did the chartwork, as I have pointed out before you should realise that there is naff all difference in terms of distance to shore between the paths.
Did you ever do much nav yourself?
