It's a good while since I flew any approaches into Exeter, in varying weather, usually on the way back home for the weekend from Dublin, but I can with considerable pleasure recall that the service provided by Exeter was always absolutely first class, even extending to a rapid inquiry of "was there a problem" when I lost rather more height than was appropriate after a pitch trim runaway at about 2 miles on an SRA to 08. The temporary problem was sorted PDQ by some application of a lot of muscle, and all continued as planned. It was real pleasing to see that they'd even noticed it, let alone responded to it.
Another occasion, when caught in some nasty icing on the slopes of Exmoor, during cruise descent, the service was excellent, and appropriate, at a time when assistance was needed to ensure a safe outcome.
All in all, one of the best ATC services I encountered in a lot of flying around Europe at that time.
And, in closing Well done on the incident reported above.
