Not lost but terrain avoidance of a sort...
RAF Shackleton on a long transit flight - point A to point B - straight
line - Very bored Navigator.
Nav has some lunch.
Course alteration 90 deg Port
Course alteration 90 deg Starboard
Course alteration 90 deg Starboard
Course alteration 90 deg Port
The Log entry read 'altered course to avoid baked bean'
So of like the "no **** story" I heard some years ago. Navigator says
"change course 1 degree to port". Pilot says "I can't change course 1
degree". Navigator says "change course 5 degrees to starboard", and pilot
complies. Then the navigator immediately says "change course 6 degrees to
port".

Better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. And if he can't
be bothered to learn to fish and starves to death, that's a good enough
outcome for me. -- Steve VanDevender
