Well, RAF Learning Command might have used the 'doghouse', but not the general RAF.

All I used on the Hunter / Buccaneer / Vulcan / Hawk / F-4 / Bulldog was the magnetic heading at the leg start (or magnetic track if the W/V was unknown / not significant), timing marks at the calculated groundspeed and times at fix points / turning points. However, Safety Altitude was marked in Big Red Numbers in an unique part of the map.

You need minimum detail to be able to fly the leg, don't obscure detail, K.I.S.S and be prepared for the GPS to go 'tango uniform' at the wrong moment!
