I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

Talking of ex-Victors, one driver some 30 years ago whose name goes with Baa, had been the Co on the same crew as my co-nav had been plotter.

We did the low level sortie over the far north of Scotland. With KM navigating we flew a straight line route over every hill and corrie. When is came to my turn we snaked every which way staying as near 500 feet as we could and grabbing radar fixes when I could.

On recovery he blithly declared internal aids to land and left me to do a radar approach from TOD on to the runway - thanks!

He said that as I had been a Nav Rad (8 years previous) he knew I could do it.
