I remember that it was published in Cugle´s , up to a certain year after which the paragraph was deleted , and in Navigators Information Files NIF during WW-II .If not from sunset , how would mr.Noonan have acquired his 159-07-E / 04-33.5-S coordinates of the 0718 announced fix ? I remember that you once said he would have his information by visual aid : flying close to , or over Nukumanu . For that event he would howver , reported to be over 159-30-E / 04-30-S , 27 SM eastwards of the fixed coordinates . I already posted today , and these days that when a navigator sees his precomputed sunset-sunrise time-position group come true , het can announce the coordinates , 0718 GMT , before the phenomenon actually occurs , 0719:30 GMT by superficial observation , especially if by making a detour (Choiseul) he initially left the original flight procedures .
