NEDUL is in the vicinity of The Needles, the chalk columns off the west coast of the Isle Of White, and the next reporting point along the airway is THRED. Flew over them for a few years before I got it!
Also, one of the new reporting points that appeared a couple of months ago in the southwest UK airspace is EPACE. Apparently near the factory where they build the Jaguar Epace. Wonder if it’s a bit of subtle advertising aimed at the airline pilots flying through it. (The reporting point, not the factory.)
