Folks,

PS the the previous post, over the years, the yanks (before political correctness set well and truly in) were far more imaginative with names.

For those of us who worked in the area, who can ever forget the successive position on one airway from Reno (?) into KSFO, the positions being successively -- Hairy, Horny, Bushi, Mary.

Or the boundary positions around Diego Garcia-- Wotta, Bumma, Mumma.

The nearest I recall to such names here, was the well chosen GAFFA, a perfect description of the area.

ALWYN is a bit tame.

Tootle pip!!
