Abstract

I am grateful to both Dr Ponsonby and Sqn Ldr Hoare for their responses to my original article and would like to thank them for replying. It is interesting that they have come up with such different approaches, one based on solid geometry (but not spherical trigonometry) and the other based on a map projection, which both give exact or near-exact answers.
