Eric. As promised. At some stage there was a two-star sandwich fix on one side and a three-star fix on the other. I don’t think anyone ever used the three-star side, because the two star-sandwich fix was ideally suited to the Vulcan, which had a port and starboard sextant mount, and you were allowed to draw a second sextant. It was just a case of setting everything up in advance and jumping across the cabin between stars. Looks like my latest driver update like writing in italics. DaveP
