Hi!
I was the controller in question. I would just like to put you in the picture with the traffic scenario. It was not busy but i had just recieved a call from an aircraft who was about to enter East Midlands airspace without permission and i considered it good TRM to call the radar controller there to warn him that this aircraft was about to infringe rather than leave it as a total surprise to him and have an airprox.
I'm sorry that coincided with the exact time you arrived at CHS and i didn't vector you. All you needed to do was remind me, which you did. All I was doing was reminding you what you should have done - i did actually give you a heading straight away which positioned you in traffic with no holding at all!!
BTW No 1 was coming in from the south which is perhaps why you had no sign of him.
Radar and rolaaand - thanx for backing me up guys. It was actually my last day at BHX and in NATS as i am moving on to pastures new.
Anyone else at BHX care to comment?
Other than that - Arrivederci!!!
