Nice Send Off & Good Luck
Around 1100 today I heard the pilot of a Triple 7 on approach to 27L at LHR saying in response to final landing clearance "...cleared to land, and after 30 years as a BA pilot this is my final landing"
ATC responded with "let's hope its a good one then!"
And prior to hand over from Ground the message came from ATC
"You got a 5.9, 5.9 and a 'not good enough, go round and try again'."
Nice to know there's still time for good humour and camaradarie even at a busy airport such as LHR.
And to the pilot BA pilot, whoever you are, have a long and happy retirement!
