Vulcan Arrivals and The Jet Entry Point

In the 60s I used to watch Vulcans over Mablethorpe arriving into the Lincoln clutch contrailing at high level and wondering how they were going to get down in time. Later when going through Nav training at Finningley, the Dominie's used to arrive at high level via the Jet Entry Point (Flamborough I think).
My question(s) are: Did the Vulcans have a similar JEP and where was it? Why did FY have a JEP (was it training or an ATC thing)?
