How kind, Sir!

Sorry, but nothing to relate in that area. Nearly all my UK controlling involved fast jets over E Anglia, whereas JATFOR seemed to stay "west of the Ambers".

The closest I could get would be controlling the Varsity navex stream out of Oakington, and wondering how their tracks could get so widely scattered by the time they reached the Finningley area! By the time they returned home, they were a random gaggle in no particular sequence, wandering gently across Cambridgeshire ... or Rutland, or Lincolnshire, or other points east of the Ambers
