Also, the NOTAM covering this outage states the VOR is unserviceable 14th - 18th October. So today is the last day.
edit to add: the NOTAM is extended until the 21st. Certainly the non-standard departures are more time and fuel efficient. Will be nice if the future proposed departure paths are designed as efficiently. Modern aircraft are far quieter and in a post Covid world the older/noisier aircraft types are no more.
