that is unless he was a Sqn Ldr/Wg Cdr/Gp Capt (N) who never had the right Flt Plans or charts!!!
No names etc but it was pretty well known that his nav radar got the AFC for doing both jobs down the back throughout his tour as sqn cdr. Lovely guy though!!
RV's were quite an art, and a good plotter could make all the difference when meeting a receiver inbound from Cyprus over Sicily, say. As nav radar I only chipped in if required in the final stages, using fishpool on the H2S, marking with a squirt of jettisoned fuel from one of the pods and occasionally firing the Very pistol which made a satisfying muffled bang in the cockpit. Chastening to think that both navs' jobs are now done by a box of tricks the size of a laptop, but can it pass the coffees round?
