Thanks for the support, Grizz. Just dug out the logbook BOAC, and found several PAR Azimuth Only's immediately, including one 'in anger'. Valley, Leeming and Yeovilton all gave me them.
Mind you, off topic, the kit in the Tornado allowed a good navigator to give you a better talkdown than ATC (if the radar was working!). Would have been useful during the Cold War if buckets of instant sunshine had fried Air Tragic.
Thanks for the heads up on the translations, SadPole. You, Alice, etc are marvellous! Looking again at the final approach, I think the A transmissions here do all belong to the General, because of the timings and the transmissions that we know are the Nav's. I'd got that the General was calling Baro.
I haven't been able to track down a translation of the Captain's briefing to the crew on the approach and everyone's allocated roles. Please tell me there was one at some point! Or it's definitely time.
