Loved it - thanks Andy :D

I was pi%%ed off with the ATC bloke by the end - his mike was awful - and yet every plane who talked to him was clear as a bell - he even had the cheek to tell one bloke he was indistinct =)) =))

In memory of a very dear friend - Mike Pearson

Very fond memories of Robbie Gilvary - DTs 1st Vulcan Captain who taught DT all he knew.
