Ah. Possibly fading memory. But possibly I merely misunderstood my

Only two of those were in positions that would be of significant help
in forecasting UK weather, and only one would have been of much use (J).
A and I are too far north to catch most of the movements, and A and C
were too close to America (too much scope for uncertainty later).
