The reporting point TOMMO, used by aircraft inbound to Heathrow from the southwest (when OCK VOR is u/s)is named after a Mr Pete Thomlinson, manager of ATC at Heathrow.

Normally these standby reporting points are in an identical position to the VORs they are meant to replace. But TOMMO is over the town EPSOM, 3 miles east of OCK, because Mr Thomlinson lives there!

Apparently.
