 PS I don't think our flight plan went any further than the spike sitting on the desk beside the mic.
There is a story told of an air operator in Africa where just before start up someone would run from the aeradio hut with a brown envelope to be delivered to the destination aeradio. One day, out of boredom they opened the envelope....which contained their flight plan.

A Yellow Submarine!
In the town where I was born
Lived a man who sailed to sea
And he told us of his life
In the land of submarines
So we sailed on to the sun
'Til we found a sea of green
And we lived beneath the waves
In our yellow submarine
etc etc

I don't think it is but my first thought was Rudyard Kipling's house in Sussex.

Is it in Southern England?

Yes. I just know that you are going to get this. Not Sussex.
