Hi Cliffnemo

I suspect that the landing methods changed rapidly during the war itself. What year were you landing using Christmas Trees? I am getting a lot of info from AP 129 (Dated 1938) but that only mentions goosenecks, glim lamps and chance lights.

On approach how close did you have to be to see the goosenecks? How high could you go before you lost sight of the goosenecks? Can you remember the pattern the goosenecks were arranged in and how many they were? Sorry I know that that is a very detailed question!

I would be very interested in receiving a copy of the Landing Drill notes that you mention! Happy to pay any costs involved.

James
