Unfortunate there’s a metman around – we get blamed for an awful lot. Tide and moon data are and were common knowledge and the Met Office wouldn’t have been consulted.

As an aside, moon and tide considerations determined that Operation BITING, the raid on Bruneval in 1942, could only take place between 23 and 26 February. Unfortunately the weather didn’t play ball but during the early hours of the 27th, after BITING was technically called off, the forecasters advised that weatherwise the coming night (27/28th) would be ideal. In the event the raid was completed successfully outside the optimum period.

But I digress away from the original subject of the thread …. .
