Well its work hasn't it you know that you have to look at the MEL.

And you also know that talking in your sleep is abnormal so you go see a doctor.

The loranC was only turned off in 2010 in the Atlantic. And when the first JAR exams came out there were still a few aircraft fitted with it.

And also Loran data channel is used to provide Differential GPS.

If you fly some old Middle east machines they have a funny Loran type radio box in them.

And they have been taught the systems of the wright flyer.

And breathing is in the Human performance syllabus.

And ****ting in the woods would be of use as well for some, as its proberly the first time they will have to make the choice between some mozzy infested brick hut with a hole in the floor and no bog paper or finding a quite spot to drop one without loosing half a pint of blood while you at it.


Found this which might be of interest. So its not dead yet in the marine world.

United Kingdom eLORAN implementation

On 31 May 2007, the UK Department for Transport (DfT), via the General Lighthouse Authorities (GLA), awarded a 15-year contract to provide a state-of-the-art enhanced LORAN (eLORAN) service to improve the safety of mariners in the UK and Western Europe. The service contract will operate in two phases, with development work and further focus for European agreement on eLORAN service provision from 2007 through 2010, and full operation of the eLORAN service from 2010 through 2022. The first eLORAN transmitter is situated at Anthorn radio station Cumbria, UK, and operated by Babcock Comms, which is part of the Babcock Group PLC.[25]
