I got permission to change 07/25 to 06/24 in early/mid 2001. The new 'epoch' of variations (epochs last 4 years) didn't start until the end of the year but the runway was being re-surfaced and rather than paint it 07/25 and have to change again in Mar 2002 I got permission to re-designate it about 9 months early.
Thanks Chevvron. I think Odiham 28/10 changed too, but I'll not embarrass myself by hazarding a date this time!
