Went through UAS with a chap who reached the exaulted rank of AVM. He was unusual (or was in those days) in that he had a cadetship as a Navigator and flew Nav Exes from the RHS in the Bulldog. Sadly it was noticed after one sortie that he had written "Port" and "Stbd" on the cuffs of his flying gloves as a reminder, and yes, Port was on his right glove, and stbd on the left!

I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

W, when was that? Not NS by any chance although he may have been a little earlier.

It would have worked from the Vulcan Navs' seats.
