Watch crew having a bad day at the office
On my 4th patrol using GWX2.1 and my watch crew are having some problems spotting aircraft. The weather conditions might have some bearing on this with partial cloud, moderate visibility and and wind speed of 4 metres a second. I am traversing the North Sea towards the Orkneys at TC 128 and have been pounced on by a couple of Ansons. I was only aware of their approach when I heard aircraft engines!  Crash dive! Twice this has happened, but luckily I escaped without damage to man or machine. Unless my watch crew get it together, this could be a short patrol.
