I am attaching a radiogram showing the position report was received at 0718 Z (5:18 pm Lae time) at least one and a half minutes (more like six minutes) prior to the time of the observation according to van Asten.

There exiats no such document , Noonan´s fashions are only partially registered(by Mantz) . Besides one : he evidently established definite position in 159-07-E / 04-33.5-S in
daylight , sun only available . He so did at 0719:30 GMT precomputed sunset time on the Gagan-Nukumanu track , and reported 0718 GMT when seeing precalculations came true . The time-coordinates-rhumb group shows inviolably spherical-astronomical interconnections by working standard H.O.no.208 procedure , to be checked for no-backlash accuracy by direct spherics : mr.Noonan himself documents that he used the Longitude by Sunset-Sunrise technique . . ---------------------------------------------------------------- NavList message boards and member settings: www.fer3.com/NavList Members may optionally receive posts by email.
