Dear Bruce,

By "pond", I meant Atlantic Ocean. Since TOCH! membership is international, presenting a date in a manner that all know what you mean is important. I live in the U.S. For my private use, I would use 5/2/45 or 05-02-45, but recognize that would be misleading to a correspondent in Europe.

Alas, Me 262 operations are not my specialty. Others on the site will need to address your question.

Regards,
Richard
