10DME,
Did I hear a rumour somewhere that this is because NATS are looking to phase out VORs completely over the next xx years?? I could be totally off the mark with that - if so, I have no idea why they would be quite willing (so it seems), to lose a VOR in the north of England when there are not too many north of Manchester as it is (compared to the south??)?
Mmeteesside,
Yes, I believe it was the Goldair departing to Scandanavia somewhere that filed out through NEW then airways from there...my query to Radar had them thinking about it, then just before the aircraft departed I received the amended NZ clearance.
