On reflection I apologise for using such a sweeping and pejorative term. I can only plead the irritation of being dumbed down to as an excuse.

Like others I am intrigued by Beagle's picture of WWII baby navs under instruction in that unique Fokker a/c. Is that a P12 compass sitting on the table between them? I wonder if that had been swung, either on the ground or in the air? The fate of these pre-war galleons of the air in WWII would be an interesting subject on its own. I seem to remember that one of those majestic Handley Page HP42's ended its days at Drem, nr Edinburgh, a victim of strong winds while carrying out a Squadron move during the BoB.
