<<I think we agree that WPt D is a precise location at Inverness. >>
If you look at Inverness airport on an OS map, the runways all cross in the middle of the aerodrome; a quick note of its coords would be on grid line 52 and half way between 77 & 78, thus NH775 520 which translates to N57:32' 25” W 4:02' 55” in lat&long which is waypoint D.
If you want a quick reference point, it is obvious but why would you want to land a Chinook just there? So not a precise location, I'm afraid.
<<Wpt A is still a pile of rocks>> You say this despite the charts, photos, and descriptions of the site that I have posted? You genuinely cannot see the significance? Perhaps those serving or who have served are reluctant to comment but the locals know it was used as an LZ.
