Narrative:

This was a flight from parworly to cincinnati. After helping to obtain oceanic clearance from shanwick, I left the cockpit for my rest break. The following happened during my break and is the information given to me by the captain. At some point after establishing contact with london control, communication was lost (unknown to the crew). The ICAO flight plan was being followed. Prior to radio intersection, stockholm radio SELCAL'ed the flight and forwarded a frequency for london control. Contact was reestablished and the flight was vectored clear of a MOA. The filed flight plan (ICAO) was apparently not in conformance with the published routing through the united kingdom, but no change was given by paris clearance delivery. At the time of the incident, according to the captain, the flight was being flown in accordance with the cleared ICAO routing.

Narrative: THIS WAS A FLT FROM PARWORLY TO CINCINNATI. AFTER HELPING TO OBTAIN OCEANIC CLRNC FROM SHANWICK, I LEFT THE COCKPIT FOR MY REST BREAK. THE FOLLOWING HAPPENED DURING MY BREAK AND IS THE INFO GIVEN TO ME BY THE CAPT. AT SOME POINT AFTER ESTABLISHING CONTACT WITH LONDON CTL, COM WAS LOST (UNKNOWN TO THE CREW). THE ICAO FLT PLAN WAS BEING FOLLOWED. PRIOR TO RADIO INTXN, STOCKHOLM RADIO SELCAL'ED THE FLT AND FORWARDED A FREQ FOR LONDON CTL. CONTACT WAS REESTABLISHED AND THE FLT WAS VECTORED CLR OF A MOA. THE FILED FLT PLAN (ICAO) WAS APPARENTLY NOT IN CONFORMANCE WITH THE PUBLISHED ROUTING THROUGH THE UNITED KINGDOM, BUT NO CHANGE WAS GIVEN BY PARIS CLRNC DELIVERY.
