EGLL Holding Points
...okay I get OSTER and HORKA and maybe even LOKKI if it's short for Lockheed, and all the planets/space-related points. Where do ETTIV and MORRA come from? I know I should get out more but I do spend quite a lot of time remote holding in these places these days.

So why have we got scottish lochs at Heathrow?
Lets send LOKKI & ETTIV to EGPH and get some local names.
How about STANZ, EDWAD, WRSBY - Staines, King Edward VI & Wraysbury lochs, i mean reservoirs!
B***** Scots trying to take over the planet!

Ta for clearing that up.
Agree with Thunderbug.. can we have ANSLA, FELTM, and HESTN instead.

MORRA never gets used. ETTIV often gets read back as ACTIVE. OSTER mostly gets read back as OSCAR. Great idea whoever thought of them!!

Spitoon,
Welcome to Heathrow!
Even now, years after their introduction we still get crews mistakenly reading back 'Active' and 'Echo' for ETTIV: 'Oscar', 'Ulster' and others instead of OSTER. Up until recently we had ROKIT as a 27R hold and LOKKI as a 27L hold, which used to get mixed up quite a few times an hour.

Slight thread creep, I know, but who named the points on the Medwy P-RNAV procedures for 27L and R, then??? I take it he's not a Man U fan....?!
