VRP Grid Ref
I know I've seen a list of the lat/long of all the UK VRPs before, but I can't for the life of me find it again.
I've been trying to find them for a couple of hours, can anyone put me out of my misery.

My AFE flight guides gives a list of VRPs within controlled airspace with their Lats & Longs
All other VRPs are listed under the appropriate airfield entry.
I can fax a copy if you are desperate.
(Disclaimer - its the 2003 edition, the copy I keep at work)

Thanks for that you two. That will do nicely.
I thought I'd seen a list in the online AIP though, but still can't find it there!

I'm probably being a right numpty here, but I've just looked online and I can't find the "WGS84 part"
Any chance of a URL?

Don't know if this is what your looking for - couldn't find the WGS84 ref either (never heard of it to be honest!)
try this! (you'll need you login and password for the AIP service but it'll take you right to the correct section.
Then choose the textual data for the aerodrome you want!
most of the VRP data is at the end of the document.

VRP
Don,t forget VRP stands for Visual Reference Point
Ie you don,t have to be directly overhead this point
but just in the Vacinity.
This is different to a lot of places in Europe where you have to be at the given point.
