Mooncrest,
I remember the night of the 32 river. I was on TMA NE at EGCC that evening, we did grin a bit.
I also remember a D watch afternoon duty on the Mediator Suites, (i.e. prior to 1993), when, (due to fog), EGNM was the only airport 'open' in northern England.
You accepted everything we offered you. One of the ATSAs asked "where the fcuk are they parking them all?", Yeadon High-Street was the reply. 126.65 became almost a No. 1 Director frequency for Leeds. Brilliant shift!
As I groped my way to the staff car-park at 22.00, there was a P.A. announcement for "Air Malta passengers to board a bus for EGPK" for a 4.5hr journey to their aircraft. Great days!
Are you a fan of 'Steeleye Span' by any chance?
