I know BEags, just fooling! The tanker fixes were lifesavers - so was the fuel!! The only thing we had to go on when flying to Ascension and then the Falklands in 82 was the Victors position - from DECCA, am I wrong? As Take That says, up in the Arctic Sea on Q we were out of range of pretty much everything so that was vital, especially in the FG1.

Here's the box of tricks. Feed the hamster, tell it exactly where you were and the wind, etc (I think I recall we could get it from the radar too) and it would invariably tell you which hemisphere you were in!
