Mr.Lapook´s explanation arrives close to the one published 2008-2011 in European Journal of Navigation in a three articles series , pdf available at davidkbowman.com , select "Technical Articles". The addendum to article no.3 (on the on board NR 16020 fuel management)refers to a via Choiseul Island detour between Lae and Nukumanu Island , originally proposed by mr.Lapook , as in the addendum mentioned .
