A mate of mine was in the circuit at the time, and was informed by the tower that he was No. 2, when he could see the two said aircraft on finals. So it seems to me as though the Tower had lost the plot, thinking back they did seem maxed out that morning, but they always are!!!
No doubt my mate will get a portion of the blame and Jimmy Sommerville will conduct a cover up of the real facts to the CAA to prevent restrictions of flying and to preserve profits!!!
