It would have to be a problem with at least 6 satellites and would lead to the aircraft being many miles off course!
Hand Solo, not understanding the system I did not wish to make any assumptions about how it worked.

Everything else was located where I would expect it be be and the track displayed coincided with the visual picture out of the window (to the extent of cross checking against Southend pier, Central London etc), so could there be a naming error in the database?

To give you a better idea, the moving map showed Bromley and "Stansted" was located to the SE, near the River Medway!

Harlow and Cambridge were located well to the north of London, with a nice gap where Stansted should have been - it looked most bizarre indeed.

Its good to have geniuses like you posting on the forum, what would we do without you?

I did think to mention it to the CSD, who was extremely patronizing and told me that it was nothing worthy of mention. Well, she is in charge of the aircraft, so what more could I do?
