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

The old crow that I was once married to was also an RAF officer and she could navigate. However, when I drove (which was most of the time) I did like an overall impression of the route (liken it to a flight briefing if you will) but she insisted on keeping me completely in the bloody dark and went into an exceptionally foul mood if I even dared to ask to look at the map.

Hopefully some poor downtrodden sod is suffering at her hands as we speak. I would have hated to have had all that angst to my self.

Could you not have pointed out Sea Vixen Nav's operated in a small dark compartment and shoved her in the boot?


tell sat-nag to keep her shoes off and her feet on the dashboard
Won't that cause an awful amount of drag?

This is the test of which is more loyal - the wife or the dog. The test is to lock each of them into the rear of your car while you go and do something else and then return after 5 hours. Which one will be really welcoming and pleased to see you?

I always out-navigate the wife. But I do have the advantage that road signs are, as we know, always only 'advisory for aircrew'.
