Wayne, Nice - very detailed report. (I am not updated with the news, hehe) What got me curious was the Military Grid Reference - how to convert to WGS84? any ideas? I don't know if the crude method I used was correct.
I'll try to work my way backwards to verify if the computed Lat Long from the SMS (tweeted) message made sense from what actually happened.
