Hi Don.
I was on the sortie but not with H. My twin R*n C*****s was tho and came back quite white. The student Eng had not operated flaps with speed so a steep approach to the Welsh countryside ensued.
Coff. The kit all had uses but also had limitations., mostly interpretation. Decca was a pig along a base line and you could hardly see the needles they were spinning so fast. Omega needed good cover and heading south the position lines were nearly all along track and only one weedy cross track signal. Some Navs used to discard weak signals and that mostly took out your fixing line. Loran was OK in the North Atlantic and North Pacific but in the South Atlantic there was only astro 3 star fixing to start. Half the sky was blanked by the refuelling probe, the VHF aerial and the Cupola. I have asked a captain to steer off heading till I could see the star I was looking for. Happy days.
