Please help with a tower Visit

Hi All,

Have stage 3 interviews on 28th July and i'm trying to organise control visits before that date. I have a visit to Swanwich arranged to see area control but i would really really like to see a tower as well. NATS put me on to a chap at Gatwick, but he can't fit me in before the 28th. Can anyone else help with a visit to a busyish tower before the 28th?

any help gratefully received

many thanks

James

Have you actually tried belling an ATC unit and asking yourself?? Tell them who you are and why you want to visit and you may be lucky. Heathrow is probably out of the question but there are other places.

Good luck
