Re: Secret code : May 1940 R.A.F.
Iain,
For that point :
"Firstly in respect of the targets for 14 May the grids for the three of the five pontoon bridges are in the 71 Wing orders to 105 Squ (retained in 105 ORB)
Pontoon bridges:
49˚ 42’N, 04˚ 53’E:
49˚ 40’N 04˚ 59’E:
49˚ 39’N 05˚ 02’E:"
Does someone can identify that or those targets... ? To locate a point we need a longitude and a latitude : for instance Sedan is : longitude : 04° 56' 43'' East, Latitude : 49° 41' 56'' North. Is it right or is there another method ? Perhaps in U.K., it is difference from France ?
I don't understand those references ?
Thank you for any help...
