Reporting Points

[EGCC Rwy 24]

My site (http://www.nicklocke.co.uk/points) now has the reporting point changes for 28 November.

There are some great new ones:

DOGIT, RISLA, KEPAD, TUPEM, TUMTI amongst others.

Come on folks - we all know they are from the random lists of letters, but who picked them --- and why??

[5milesbaby]

DOGIT comes from the surname of one of our retiring managers, so even when they've gone, they come back to haunt us.

Thanks 5! Does the retiring bod have a name?? That's just the kind of background my site needs!!

Cheers and ....... any more??

[Bev Bevan]

Think we should have a RP named after a certain just-retired HD.. just need to change one of the letters :D

A "Fairly" new one to me [at least]. Canaries Northbound..
BIMBO:) ;)
Not very PC though
we aim to please, it keeps the cleaners happy

Gordon Doggit. The first General Manager of the Swanwick Centre.

There's one in the south of Spain called MORON, will that do?:)

In the new North Sea sector there will be LEGRO after the bloke involved in its development (not the famous car with the square steering wheel!).

The big pity is that DODSI will disappear in the new sectorisation. No longer can any male pilot report that he is coming over DODSI and cause much tittering in LACC!

[FoxRomeo]

in southern Germany someone really got carried away:

TITIX, PIGMI, TUBLO, LUGUS, GAGSI, ...

but my all time favorite:
LEKMI (pronounces in German just like: kiss my a**)

[EGCC Rwy 24]

Thanks "eye" ---- good to see that my site at least knows something! DODSI ---->

Named after Julie Dodds, allegedly "a little cracker in AC ops LATCC", or so we are told!

Some real name(s) etc for LEGRO?

Still searching for the background to the other new ones?

I will find a space on the site for the overseas ones.

On a different topic (that of beacons rather than points), does anyone have any photos of VORs, NDBs etc? That feels like the next logical place to go weith my site.

Cheers all.

Mr. Peter LeGros.... no, really!:)

Thanks Bex --- keep 'em coming!

Thanks to Multimap, the map links are now working again!

There must be some more knowledge out there......
