Have a look at "Intersection of two paths given start points
and bearings" on this page

http://www.movable-type.co.uk/scripts/latlong.html

BTW, the bearing lines always intersect,even if the azimuth
angles are the same. A proper bearing line follows a great
circle. On a sphere, great circles either are
the same circle, or they intersect at two antipodal points.

When ever I need formulae regarding navigation, I head to this website...

http://williams.best.vwh.net/avform.htm

I suspect you want the link that points to "Intersection of two radials"

Thanks lot Ket Bowman.
The site you mentioned is very useful for me.
