Brain fade : I spent 30 years of my life controlling the Green 1, one of the first airways designed as such I was told by the " inventors of ATC" as we called the UK back then. Besides the Amber, Red and Blue ones that we also had, I have practiced occasionally the famous " Purple airway" but had not heard of "violet" ones , and even less about " Victor ones " . therefore my curiosity.

I didn't mean to make a fuss, I assure you.
The point being we could all be better off with the lost knowledge of our ancestors.
I can understand why you Europeans seem confused about VICTOR airways.
Victor of course is the phoentic for V
V for Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range. The first airways with VOR's as the navaids, instead of the old range stations, ndb's etc of the colored airways.
fly safe,
