We heard Solent coastguard giving a Pan Pan announcement at the weekend.
Started with a lat and long position and then a desciption of the emergency.
The lat and long meant nothing to me out in the cockpit!
Someone then called up and asked where the casualty was to which they replied south of Lyme Regis.
Why don't they announce the position as 5 miles south of Lyme Regis to start with, so anybody in the area
can then note the exact location?
