Happened at LBA with one of ours. Obviousely logged in the a/c log book. The incident was reported to the Air Traffic Manager by another controller who was not there at the time and therefore could not report himself not knowing the true facts. However it did happen and not reported by the ATCO concerned.
The intercom between tower and approach was something along the lines of:
Approach: My mum and Dad were on that one.
Tower: Yeah, and you nearly fu***ng killed them.
You asked me, so I have told you.
Myself and my colleagues discussed this post before it was originally aired. We all felt strongly, in the interests of aviation safety, that it should be posted.
