In my report I included a map to show where Bruneval was, and added what I described as the track of a somewhat older and larger ‘raid’ in the hope of providing historical encouragement. It looked very like radar plots on an aircraft, and I actually had an officer ring me up and say ‘I didn’t know that we’d made that other raid—when did we do it?’ I then happily pointed out that if he would look at the beginning of the raid track, which started at Bosham he would see that it was timed as AD 1346 (Figure 10) and was in fact Edward III’s route to Crecy.
