Towards the end of the Ks life the Modgods took pity on the poor Navs, knowing that they would be disposed of with the frames. They introduced SCNS (Self Contained Navigation System) with an Inertial Nav blended with a GPS. Wot larks for Navs. No more gyro steering, no Doppler runaways (therefore no F and C comps under the rack) Tactical drop problems computed (but checked by eyeball) and all sorts of fun button pushing. Pond crossings a piece of p$$$. Routes were loaded in a cassette (about the size of a Filofax). No probs with skywave, the terminator and other nav kit pitfalls. Only snag it had was when the GPS tripped out and the poxy INS went walkabout but by then the sextant had gone too. A good time to leave.
