I want to add a thumbs-up to the controllers at Bournemouth
Having been instructed for my PPL by a famous Perv, I enjoyed the banter that puntuated the helpful and professional service (this a couple of years ago). I still use Bournemouth every few weeks and find the controllers generally to be great. There are the occasional grumpy moments, but these are rare. It is obvious that organisational changes have created difficulties, but the cheerful approach of some controllers is really appreciated.
