I thought it was worth adding a cross link to the Amy Johnson thread which picks up on the Weems process for celestial navigation which can use two watches.

I just saw another great example / a Navigator with two watches from WW2 - possibly with a sextant. Maritime operations from Malta/Gibraltar would be very unforgiving to a navigation mistake - a lot of blue to get lost in!
