Good morning Gents ... sorry for being late on parade, but Mrs Coff has had me packing for our hols next week

Great fun last night with the Nav kit Mal Drop

We've had pics of the Herc Flight Deck, Hold and Exterior ... so I thought it was about time we had a look at the Nav's Station ... in the hope that will prompt further stories and reminicisances

I had a quick search and found this pic of XV208 "Snoopy" Nav's Station to get us started ... which, as we all know, is a converted C-130 K. I guess the Nav pictured will be known on here ... if not a PPRuNe Member ... so I won't publicise his name (I hope he doesn't mind). Surprise surprise it looks like the DECCA Doppler 62 is being used !

Hopefully someone would like to give us a "walk-a-round" the Desk

I'm assuming that Snoopy's Nav Station was close to the standard K config ?

MORE Nav Station pics if we can please ...



PS. This pic (originally posted 2008) is part of a fascinating InterWeb piece on Air Navigation by the chap in the pic above

Best ...

Coff.
