CONSOL worked great when leaving the Ekofisk headed back to Teeside....put the tail of the needle on the bottom of the dial...and off you went. Was it Stavanger where that station was? I forget now....but it was very helpful when getting going in the murk.

I also found using the sea bouys with their radar reflectors for the Newcastle shipping channel to be a nice way of finding the beach.....or by holding just north of track for Teeside one could do a straight-in ILS. The Sea Bouys worked a treat for locating one's location when the Decca had turned into a whirling dervish when it was queered by static electricity in a snow storm.
