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.)
It's not, it's one of a list that was given out by ICAO and we had to pick them. It's considerably better than some of the other new reporting points in the airspace that are just awful to say and spell. Some of the geographic ones still remain, but not many anymore
