To everyones amazement a Ryanair Captain managed to persuade ATC to let him have a ride in their car in order to 'test' the braking action himself!!!
I'm still trying to work out exactly which ATCO it was that went out in our car on the runway. 2 reasons why this post is crap:
1: We (ATC) don't do the runway inspections. Anyone who has been at Liverpool will realise why, given the position of 'airside' to the new tower.
2: The only car that we (ATC) have at our disposal is an 'S' reg Ford Fiesta, with no markings, or orange lights. Not likely to be much use on an active runway full stop. Never mind one covered in a blanket of snow.....
