Barton VOR [defunct] location co-ordinates.
 

Good evening, chaps,

Would anyone have the co-ordinates for the Barton VOR that used to be located on EGCC SID's? [1970's]

It was taken out of service and is now a fix. Can the co-ordinates be readable on a Google Earth search, please.

The 1970's AERAD chart [HI] have the VOR but, alas, not the location. I haven't got the accompanying area chart. :rolleyes:

Try this ... N53 27 30 W02 27 21

Cribbed from a previous Pprune thread asking exactly the same question :rolleyes:

Certainly fits my recollection of the site - I flew over it 6 times a day for about 4 years !!

Many thanks, ETOPS. May this week be CAVU for you.

Interesting that there's no discernable trace of the VOR any more.

Granted, it was decommissioned many years ago, but when you think how many WWII hardstandings are still visible on GE it's a little odd.

This link may help, it is in OSGB36 NGR, cucaera

or http://www.cucaera.co.uk/grp/?refs=S...47505855560303

it really is bandit country in those parts

Now I'm confused - that's about 4km from the previously-quoted position.
