I think we have our tactics right as per Fischerking's post, but we have to consider the route. Our departure from Gib will be noted by agents in Spain so I would suggest we throw them off the scent by going South or South West until well out of sight of land and then come round to North West to put us a minimum of say 200 miles off the Spanish coast before heading for Liverpool. What do you all think?
Seems logical. The only problem arises when we approach Gibraltar. They know we're going there so we have little chance avoiding them there (they aren't stupid, they will be there). In other words unless we have a plan on avoiding /defeating a pack of U-boats on the Gibraltar approach, all the rest of our measures will have been in vain.
