Then turn 60 degrees back onto the on course heading.

A 60-degree dogleg was a standard method of losing time without slowing down, but Chichester couldn’t afford to throw fuel away.  At 60kts doing nothing for four minutes would take him 4nm.  30 degrees right, 60 left, 30 right would still take him 3.44 miles along course.  60 right, 120 left, 60 right would only take him 2nm along course.  

Have you any idea what the tiny lines at 90 degrees to Chichester's celestial LOPs are?  At first, I thought they might be a handy scale that he could set his dividers against and then swivel them through 90 degrees to plot an intercept, but they're by no means equidistant.  Now I think it's just hachuring to highlight them.  DaveP
