One of his pet hates was, 'too much chatter' on the radio and he fought for the removal of the eighty-mile call for years. He could see no point or reason and had the experience of being former ATC. If I remember correctly, the eighty mile call originated from the Vickers Viscount days. Eighty miles being their descent point. He won that one. "Bunch of twits" was a standard reply to any CASA discussion!
