Re: Ever feel like a radio celebrity?
Several Heathrow ATCOs have been part-time DJs but one combined both skills one memorable morning at Christmastime long, long ago.. He was the SVFR controller and Capital Radio, by way of thanks for services rendered, offered him 20 seconds "live" on-air. They did this by relaying the transmision from 119.9 to whatever frequency Capital used. The ATCO used his time to great effect, finishing by saying "And for Nic and Roly, I just beat your old man at snooker". Nic and Roly are my two sons and they were chuffed to hear their names on the radio! (I never did beat him at snooker).
Imagine that happening now..................
