Happy Memories
Thanks Stu and the rest of you. You've brought back happy memories of flying from Manchester. Many years ago (in the early 80s) I used to own a share in a light a/c (an AA1B) that lived in the hangar on the 'South Side', so as young(ish) PPL holder, EGCC was my flying base. Even though I flew in and out of there on a weekly basis, it was always a big thrill. Manchester ATC have always been a friendly bunch. I had the opportunity to work there myself for a short while. It's good to hear that they still welcome private flyers on VFR flights and find the time to fit them in with all the commercial flights.
