A note of thanks to Bournemouth radar

I'd like to say thank you to Bournemouth radar for the help you gave yesterday afternoon to the PA28 G-OH with the gear problem after the low approach and go-around.

The calls you made to Farnborough and Blackbushe advising them of the situation lightened the load and helped me to concentrate on getting the problem solved. This was especially appreciated as I could hear how busy you were (this after also accomodating my practice approaches in the first place!).

I managed to get the gear down using the emergency extension procedure and land safely back at Blackbushe without further problems. I suspect that the cause of the problem was a faulty hydraulic pump.

Thanks again

PD
