Not so much of the 'forbears', Mr Dixson! We managed quite well with a plotting board (when the looker had to go emcon silent) in order to go and play for four hours then find the carrier. Last I looked, offshore facilities didn't move nearly as much; are we so totally dependent on GPS and other aids these days? Have we lost the basics of navigating around the sky?
