"Spider" and Flamborough track maps - sought / help
Many moons ago on a previous incarnation of Fighter Control, and at one time Aeroresource, there existed a map / diagram showing all UK air to air refuelling areas. This map also included the Spider and Flamborough tracks. I've searched for these unsuccessfully. Could anyone help / supply a copy? Many thanks.

From a post on that same site from Razor61
Unfortunatly that link he gives is dead.If you go to here

Click on the Air Refuelling maps i made... it will show AARA08.
This is near where "Spider Track" is located however not having any co-ordinates handy for the four datums and the CP/IP lat/long i was unable to draw it on the map.
Spider is only used by the 100ARW out of Mildenhall.

Everyone has a photographic memory; some just don't have film.

Spider, which is only used when the sea state is too high for a training sortie to take place over water, has changed coordinates.
They are:
N57.15,W6.15
