You and I get the point, Peter. The problem is that there is still a generation of ex-RAF navigators/pilots/air-traficers out there, who are now embedded in the upper echelons of the CAA and EASA rule-making departments who still refer to extremely sophisticated panel mounted GPS panel mounted devices as "GPS wonder-boxes" as if they were the work of beelzebub, and no real substitute for non-precision NDB approaches flown with a stopwatch and the aid of a navigator.
Although i regularly fly the NDB procedure at my home base of Oxford, and am happy to do so as the surrounding scenary is sufficiently low not to worry me, the NDB 20 approach at Shoreham has the double gotcha of proximaty to the sea (with all the well known problems for NDB's) and high hills which scares the bejesus out of me.
Until the old guard at the CAA finally retire to tend their dahlia's, we're stuck with these ludicrous anachronisms.
