Preparing the Met. for the 6-ship landaways from Finningley to Gib. was very nerve racking .......... not many allowable divs. what the tension with Spain, and the obs. from the possible divs were, shall we say, not to British standards ..... as for their TAFS!
Not much info from the Atlantic in those days ...... satellite was only interpreted for us by HQ and the resultantant cartoon issued.
I didn't relish the go/nogo discussions with OCOps [or was it still OCFlying in those days?]
Even if nothing else, it was an expensive failure if the trip was scrubbed enroute.
I don't think I caused any of those, but it was a close-run thing.
