Hi ST

It's precisely because NOTAM are for aviators that there are rules. If you found the NOTAM you got in France, Germany and the US all followed different local rules then you would be stuffed if you were an international pilot. The Brazilian pilot flying for an Americal Airline from Heathrow to Singapore needs to know what he is looking at. It's a global system, not just for local bimblers like me.

By all means drop an email to [email protected] suggesting they put in a/d names as well as the ICAO as a matter of course. If enough perople ask it will probably happen!

And if you are going to be near LHR with time to spare ask them if you can visit, or get a group together to go. They are very receptive to visitors and it's well worth the trip.
