Biggin Hill ATC Today
Was stuck in the 'great parking lot in the sky' above Biggin today and had a quick listen in on 129.4 whilst going 'round and 'round in circles and boy did it sound busy! The poor controller (who I have to say was doing a top job despite barely having time to take a breath) was rushed off his feet - even whilst dealing with a flapcopter in a flap. . .
Anyway, given the weather, the emergency (hope he got down safely btw) and the volume of traffic, I was surprised there weren't 2 freqs in use. Were you guys short staffed there today or was it just madness at the time I happened to tune in and quiet the rest of the day?
All the best,
BH
