As an aside to what went wrong with that particular flight can I ask why would you send an aircraft direct to DIDGO when there is Clacton VOR and REDFA FIR boundry presumably on route, both of which would almost certainly be programmed in the FMS and would be listed on the plog. Don't get me wrong, this is not a criticism but a genuine question.
As my name suggests I do a bit of flight planning and fairly regularly crews return cursing that they had been given a direct routing to an obscure intersection when there logical VOR's or reporting points nearby, not just in the Uk, I just wondered why?
