I have nothing but praise for you helpful ATCOs.

A few years ago, a fellow microlighter got caught out in deterioating weather near Birmingham. He was on frequency with Birmingham Radar and called for assistance. They guided him in and let him park in a hangar overnight! Caused a few issues with his 3 mile 45 knot final approach, but never once was any attitude given to the poor chap. Only extremely polite help and good hospitality.

He was raving about it for month, and talking down to us whingers about our refused zone transits
