but the subjects included....
Judging by your apostrophic abuse, probably not English language?
The VRB sounds to have been a less-than-useful system for fast jet pilots! Whereas a couple of QTEs (easy to remember - "Have you seen the new WRAF in ATC - a real cutie!") from the plethora of stations we had in those days at least enabled a reasonably quick fix.
In the JP we used to leave 243.0 on the 'manual' setting of the ARC 52 and normally flew on a pre-set stud from Cranwell. So if you were above 8/8 anywhere north east-ish from Cranwell and couldn't see any landmarks, a quick True Bearing from Cranwell, then setting one click higher on each of the manual selectors to 354.0 to get a cross-bearing from Finningley was a quick way to get a reasonably othogonal fix, if the Rebecca wasn't picking up Cranwell's C4 Eur7 signal.
VOR/DME from Ottringham in the 'A' model JP made things a lot easier! But it was back to UDF and Rebecca in the Hunter at Brawdy...
