Ram!

Its all so clear now!

Beags,

I kinda figured out what you were doing, it's not that we can't be arsed, we just aren't taught the other two, but we are taught how to derive them and other such usefulls as: S=Vt-1/2at^2
and S=(U+V)t/2

which are probably the two you suggested, I cant remember, haha

Davaar,

You are indeed right there is no difference to the working, but the major difference is you can do it without a calculator, I can't! maybe if I could be arsed eh beags?

Thanks guys,
Rusty

There was a selection question for Navigators some years ago.

A sheet of A4 with two points, 'A' and 'B' on it. The question was "Draw the shortest line between points A and B. (Extra paper is available if required)!

As an ex navy police pilot pointed out to me some years ago:

You are working in radio silence, take of from your ship and go of pinging for subs. The deal from the captain of the ship is that he will be roughly at X at such and such a time.

Whilst you are off, a sub comes and scares off your ship, who sods off in the opposite direction.

You come back, low on juice. No ship..........

Jion the RAF, airfields are easier to find and there is more of them
