RFR NQW78 Ocean Station 'J' asked Prestwick if there was any news on Rafair NQW78 on a mail drop to us? Prestwick said no details available here, have you any more information?
OSJ replied, that a message received on the 9th April said that a Shackleton, call-sign NQW78, would do a mail drop between 12/1410 and 12/1430 and we were requested to keep watch on 3023.5 at 1300.
