Following 4ma's, each V-bomber had a designated recovery airfield. Their instruction was to recover overhead and request instructions.
Now some missions would terminate in proximity to airfields in neutral countries. I requested AIDU to provide whatever plates they had for selected airfields in these countries. Naturally I could not tell them why.
They duly sent me copies of Jepson as that was the best they had. However, without any more ado they then drew up the RAF plates for these airfields, no questions asked.
Sometime later, with no further demands, they dropped them.
