Where has Adson gone?

I have just purchased a new Aerad low level IFR en route chart ready for my IR renewal, just noticed that Adson seems to be missing. It was on my out of date jeppesen chart, 284 35d from SAM, but there is no sign of it on the Aerad chart?

Is Adson no longer a reporting point? Anyone any information on this?

(How can I edit the title; it should read where has adson gone?)

Done.

I think it vanished Mid March when some of the airway's around the UK were reorganised! It became "The waypoint formly known as ADSON"

The base of the airway was raised sufficiently high that it is now an Upper airway.

Upper airways have reporting points at greater intervals than lower airways, hence not all the reporting points were needed any more. That's why Adson is no more.
