Re: Position CPAV 4440
It is Admiralty Position Code - this changed periodically so needs a date also.

Re: Position CPAV 4440
Thanks, Ross
The date in question is 13 August 1940. I hope this will help identify the location. Cheers Brian |

Re: Position CPAV 4440
Thanks, Ross
Excuse my ignorance, but would the approximate location therefore be off the coast of Wales or Scotland? Any indication might be helpful. Cheers Brian |

Re: Position CPAV 4440
Far off the west coast if the letters are correct.
i.e. nothing to the east of 12 deg 44 min West or to the West of 05 deg 40 min East https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/12th_meridian_west https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5th_meridian_east https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/52nd_parallel_north https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/62nd_parallel_north A couple of my posts here shows how it works http://forum.12oclockhigh.net/showthread.php?t=7471 Ross |
