Now I can't quite remember the frequency (think it was something like 127.3) but it was certainly the one between 132.050 (first contact with London, and 118.82 (last London freq, prior to Essex Radar) during a LOREL2C arrival at STN....... the crew on the flight (a few hours ago) in the title of this thread, would like to say a hearty thanks for the straight-in to Rwy05
Whom ever you are - e.g. you said that your son is the one that reads PPRuNe - yeah, with bells on

, cheers mate !
Ps. And thanks too to all the others involved - jeez I/we love British ATC !
