Even though this is 50 years ago, much of this briefing/prep is still valid. But it’s important to realise is that these guys were looking (in no particular order) 1. To follow a track, not close at a point in the distance or waypoint. 2. To fly low at level (500 and below). 3. To control timing with their speed. 4. Weren’t hampered by magic GPS boxes. 5. Not to fly through ATZ’s. 6. Not to re-use their charts.
When I was in Australia I was taught to plan using only a pencil and a chart. Like these guys, make sure your tracks don’t cross over places you do not wish to be. You also will not need a computer, iPad, protractor, calculator so guff like that can all be disposed of. At bug smashing speeds a near-enough line will be sufficient. Any angles can be estimated by eye and charts will provide the distances (using the latitude scale on the lines of longitude). Dial in the winds (using the sine/cosine 0.5, 07 & 0.9) and out pops time on track and fuel burns. Do your maths on the bit of chart you won’t be using so you can always check back. In flight you start your watch, fly the speed and heading. As you are thinking ahead you can plan to watch for your fixes and then make time for your maths for revised ETA’s and track closing etc.
ps. I’m surprised Scunthorpe wasn’t the target.
Takes me back to my map reading sorties in the RN albeit only 180kts but I still got chopped! I’ll come and have a chat with you Mr B when I have enough magic beans for my PPL(G) if you are still based at Halfpenny. Thanks for sharing.
Great video. I like the comment "you don't have to be married to know what they look like.". Referring to the two hills on the route lol..
“Two hills... You don’t need to be married to know what they look like”
:D :D :D
"Don't need to be married to know what they look like" delivered without any humour. How very restrained.
Ah I see I wasn't the only one to pick up on that one. Glad I'm not the only one with a dirty mind.
My favorite when I was a kid.
detail ! good to see the nomenclature and the time/distance
I nav a sailboat on occasion, nothing like this but I will have an extra awareness of shore features in the future.
I never count solely on GPS in the event it goes out. It is the primary reckoning but I like to see what else is expected for a better situational awareness.
My 8 knots vs their 480 knots, heh
I never expected them, at 420kts, to look out for the same kind of markers I do at 90-100kts!
Yes nice piece of film isn't it. To your excellent point I think it shows that there is no great mystery to good nav - it just requires application of the fundamentals
If you read AP3456 Vol 9 the theory is all explained in academic detail. Google is your friend.
I make my students read the Map preparation and MDR chapters. Substitute 6 minute markings at average GA trainer speeds for the 1 minute (420 kts 7 nm/min), the distance per 6 minute is also easy to calculate it’s the Ground speed / 10) it improves your work cycle no end.
@@gyrocopterflyingclub6148 Unique, vertical extent, and big to small is what I was originally taught .... then went onto faster stuff where drift didn't really come into it🙂
@@markyoungman148 Got a friend just coming off Typhoon onto the new Texan as a QFI at Valley suddenly he needs his feet again!
I want to find so many more videos like this. I believe I’ve watched every single “how to fly” or “pilot familiarization” films from ww2 on TH-cam. Any help people??
Replaced by way points and moving map displays ?
Fantastic! Is there a part 2?
Yes there is actually but I don't have a ref for it on TH-cam. You'll get to see it via this:- www.videoscene.co.uk/royal-air-force-in-the-early-1970s-the-definitive-short-films-collection
Just because the Royal Air Force is the most innovative, skilled , and speaks the best English ...that doesn’t mean they are the best ...? You need a bloated runaway bureaucracy with muddied objectives and 600$ Loos ... like we have here in the US ... and maybe some of those big soviet admirals hats .... ? But seriously I was in a USMC phantom squadron, that deployed aboard a carrier in 81 ... and watching an F4 launch and land shipboard is quite the sight ...!
You'll like this 7mins in.... th-cam.com/video/6YPpAR1Swok/w-d-xo.html
Bolter.... but proves the best English :-)
So i'm guessing the chances were they were Royal Navy pilots
