<<Wow - brings back memories. Larry was on the same ATC primary course with me in 1966 and I met him in Cape Town a couple of years ago. Jim is well, living with Jean on the south coast of the UK in retirement. He was my Watch Sup at HLLT back in 1970 and when we saw him not long ago he was just the same as we remembered him. Great people....>>

Glad to have stirred some good memories HD.



Lon More Totally agree with you. In the 70s and 80s there was a lot of fun in ATC, consistent with safety of course. Nowadays the "dog eat dog" environment has removed the fun element and the net result - staff go long-term sick on a regular basis due to stress related illness. Never used to happen in the good old days!
