Now the seed of doubt are in my mind I have no idea! I will listen to the tapes when I get in tonight.
Brimstone . Fair point. I always harp on to trainees about the English language and how foreigners have a tendancy to interpret it literally. e.g It's raining Cats and Dogs is completly unfathomable to the French. Thus to be extra carefull with what you say. Even so, I am intrigued that such a clearance (given it's my poor RT) is acceptable to any pilot?
I will be extra careful in future.
P.s Brimstone you were very gentle and I thank you for that.
