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
If you go to here
http://fightercontrol.co.uk/aviationmaps.asp
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.
Unfortunatly that link he gives is dead.

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
N56.49,W4.32
N56.22,W2.51
N55.26,W1.52
N53.51,W0.04
N52.38,W0.33
