Almost as good as the one which used to originate from Thule USAF Base, Greenland, back 'in de good ole days'.....
(Thule - 750 miles N of the Arctic Circle, 947 miles from the N Pole, NW side of Greenland, can't remember the AFTN address....'Oldtimers'....)

I believe they used to 'time it' for its around the world distribution, and its arrival back at Thule.

From YPPH it went to FIMP (Mauritius) , and from there onwards, Westwards.
Said to arrive back at Thule in well under 30 mins....so our comm centre said.

Cheers

Seasons Greetings to all.....
