UK Reporting Points - Come on Down!!
A long time interest of mine - how did they get their names etc. Knowledge of this part of history continues to become even more vague than it is already, as people retire and leave the profession.
I have "created" a small piece of the web where we can try to pull together some form of history.
Please give it a try.
The site has a feedback facility so that you can add to the scant information which is there already.
I shall be regularly incorporating amendments as they are received. You never know we may even get enough for a book!

AC,
I've got it on my list of candidates for the next waypoint I need to establish
After all, I've got 7 named after me already so I'd better share them around !!
PS It would probably have to be PROON to get away from pronunciation difficulties with non native English speakers.

Thanks to all for the information supplied so far. The response has been so overwhelming that I am still trying to catch up! Keep it coming though.
We are now at the point where some constructive criticism would be good - there are some conflicting thoughts in there now.
Thanks again, and yes I think PROON is a great idea.

Too true IFR !!
Well the 7 variants I am intimate with, and that's waypoints I mean, are:
55N 10W
56N 10W
57N 10W
58N 10W
59N 10W
60N 10W
61N 10W
Perhaps we could rename them to ICAO 5 letter standards ??
EYFAR (IFR)
PROON (PPRuNe)
DANNY (Danny Fyne)
REDDO (Redsnail)
HAMRA (Hamrah)
ARCLU (Capt Airclues)
MARGE (Marge - Agony Aunt)
Any more offerings ??

Reddo,
We have a ROBIN already. But the rest of the suggestions look good

Hopefully you got a list from me via feedback. If not I'll have to type it all out again

Sorry, 10W, I don't have any of your Enroute charts and stuff... I sort of don't need them in the southern hemisphere
There is a place in the Oz bight called "LONLY" and there used to be a position out of Adelaide that was a female's name. It was the worst route you could get at Adelaide...
