Hi Dick,
Welcome aboard to you and son(s) ? from the other side of the pond.
With your interesting and full background you are sure to make good waves for the rest of us in Navlist, which is an extemely interesting and happy place for all celnav suffererers.
Best wishes

5°32'W 50° 06'N (ish), using Astra IIIb and mechanical watch and LOP worked with home made Bygrave slide rule! .( I'm a die hard ancient romantic! One day, when I'm rich, I'll get me a top flight old English classic sextant. Any recommendations?). Although, I've found the Astra perfectly up to my wobbly hands and dubious eyes.
