It's what you're used to, isn't it? Modern civilian satnav wouldn't hit the market until nearly 40 years after the Trident first flew!

The technology might have been a bit steampunk by comparison (with attendant reliability issues), but some of the innovations in the Trident's avionics were truly special.

I don't think she'd have had the range for London to Moscow though...
