Sensitive area calculations from Met Office, NCEP
Summary: the calculations were made to give an indication for a potential case 
that may be targeted using the G-IV. Sensitive regions were found to be in the
central and western Atlantic indicating apotential G-IV trans-Atlantic flight.
Further calculations will be required to clarify this.
