Brown Clee Hill to the north and Titterstone Clee Hill to the south .... 20 and a bit miles south of Shawbury with just a touch of left (going south) ... that's pilot nav for you

Are you sure? Clee Hill is further south than what is shown on the map.

Totally without foundation, and therefore appropriate. I was told as a rotary stude in the 80s that Sally's tits were the two firm geological features that resembled the anatomy of of an ATC (female) ATC person who served at Shawbury.
There was a time when Valley mates used to drive to Shawbury for Happy Hour. Why? 2 hour drive, loads of single birds, beer. Any questions?

What no Magic Spluff Muffin of Love (that spluff-muffin-of-love-like lump of high ground near the head of Swaledale)? Shurely some mistake? And how about the railway bridge at Ulverston near Barrow-in-Furness, start point for so many Tin Can nav-exes?

That's excellent 
but in the list for Wales you put a ? next to Vernway so can I assume that you mean Lake Vyrnwy the reservoir which supplies water for Liverpool?

Oops! 
That will teach me to post when I'm tired. I should have said that it has "sp" - meaning, presumably "spelling" beside it and which I took to mean that the author wasn't too sure of the correct spelling.

This isn't the correct spelling, but it is the way it's pronounced at Valley, as the vast majority of pilots there can't cope with the Welsh names properly without at least half a dozen pints down them!
(And it is a 5. Comes straight after 4 and before 6)

New Look Aircrew Dictionary Web Site
The new look "interactive" version of the aircrew dictionary web site is now available for your collective viewing pleasure at: www.bannedphrases.co.uk
Now, sadly, with over 1000 definitions!
You can now submit your own definitions for approval and inclusion in the database automatically. The Standard Landaway Night Out guides have been removed from the "hard" copies of Edition 6 but are still online. Please keep the additions to this section coming in (Non-uk locations especially welcome). What I really want for those guides is the "standard" night out not necessarily the best night out, just the places that you always HAVE to go to when you are new to a base. Eg: Cranwell= Lincoln = Walkabout + Jumpin Jacks + Ritzy + Kebab.

Just a thought, bearing in mind I'm going grey, have no map to hand and haven't been there for a while..... Does not the loop lie north of laura ashley valley/the newtown cricket stumps? Thought if you come from the south at the stumps, its a quick left/right up LA valley and into the bottom of the loop? Then creamie pass takes you out WNW from the western edge of the loop?
Very much like the banned phrases site. A good thing to go alongside Jack Speak. Point of order though, on scrolling down I got to BEYOND 10 WEST. The author was ofbviously not a Nav as it is line of Longitude not Latitude.............................anyone see the 6.55 pass through Crewe this morning?

Sally's Wotsits!
Ahh,
I remember a vivid occasion when 'bouncing' a 4-ship of puffer-jets in LFA 7/4 a few years back. Towards the end of their training sortie I managed to split both sections and, on trying to get back together for the transit home, lead requested a 'posit' from the back pair. #3 replied:
"We're just coming over Sally's Tits!"
How I very nearly wet myself.......

Now I know why! Guys, the Shobdon Magnet is in Herefordshire not Wales. It is a bit to the east of where the map has it. The only other land mark I can vouch for is the Start Point Light.(Used it for fixing an awful lot during my baisic training.) That is where it is shown.
