re Bhx Rw 15 sid
+'ve ROC.
I think Pilotatlast was pretty close to the mark. Aircraft leaving Bhx on 15 have been doing this for as long as I can remember. (My hair is grey). However I believe its to avoid Catherine de Barnes. Some VERY senior politicians have friends there. In a previous existence I (with others) was tasked with looking after a lady with a handbad whilst stopping off for tea during a general election campaign.
senior moment - for handbad read handbag
