Re: RT Question
Happened to me many years ago at Blackpool - taxiied out to renew my night "rating" (as it was called then).
Departed, turned, and called "Downwind".. Tower controller said, "Hey, don't even consider bugging me with all those radio calls - unless you hear something else on the frequency, just do your own thing and tell me when you've landed for the last time".
I was the only aircarft in the circuit - but it felt wrong.
