Hi HT, it was several times, and from both the pilot and the Approach and Tower controllers. I think (not 100% sure) that it was the only aircraft on the Approach frequency at the time. When it called up I had a hunch it was BH Air (There was one due in/ I know their flt. nos are normally 4-digits beginning with '5' as this one was/ pilot had an Eastern European accent/ came in from the South East) so I was actually specifically listening to hear if it was indeed 'Balkan Holidays' the pilot and controllers were saying, if that makes sense.
So yes; while it wasn't definitely 'Polish' it definitely wasn't 'Balkan Holidays'.
