Flap 40, why are you trying to muddy the water,
I was tuned to Ottringham VOR, morse ID confirmed everything as normal. I was overhead kirkbymoorside (I was confident of position I know the area well and had just overflown my brothers house) but the bearing I had set to be correct at kirkbymoorside showed a large deflection indicating I should fly right.
Did you read my post, the obi said fly right, which is towards sutton bank.

What makes you think that I said sutton bank is to the south of kirkbymoorside?
I was flying south, then noticed the anomally with the VOR so I tracked west a little to see what happened.

I was hoping for helpfull answers, perhaps if you read some (all of them actually) of the other posts you will see the sort of thing I had in mind.

I believe northern highflyer has the most likely answer anyway.
