Did my night QCC to Norwich from Biggin H. Still recall that like it was yesterday as Eastern were bored and were glad to chat so I had radar vectors to finals .... from around Colchester! Did a "stop and go" but was being followed by RW traffic from a rig offshore. His terse Tx to Norwich Twr "Does that mean he is actually stopping on the runway when he lands????" had the BEST sarkie response ever from Twr - along the lines of "Well what the f do you think the word 'stop' means? Yes, he will!". I could hardly fly a stable approach I was laughing so much! Ah, such happy days - sadly long gone!!!!! Cheers, H 'n' H
