No paper maps on board?

Good job they were still on the ground. Reminds me of a time some years when a Jaguar prototype from Warton went to an airshow on east coast. The very new nav system crashed on return leg and pilot had no paper maps as backup. Many red faces as he had to request radar headings all the way home.
