Hello again from a (non-paying) customer.

I have to return to your forum to say thank you to the Heathrow Special/Thames Radar desk for their help to me on Sunday last. I was covering the Tour of Britain bicycle race for the beeb.

Whoever was on during the race found a way of getting me into the Heathrow Zone together with "plod" with 500' separation. Absolutely outstanding lateral thinking from a controller who understands why we rotary pilots do what we do. (In this case for both the viewers of a bicycle road race!).

I must ask if you have created a precedent here, sir. (without mentioning precicely the device you used lest it embarrass anyone)

If the individual concerned is not a ppruner perhaps AlanM would be kind enough to bring this to his attention and, perhaps, answer on his behalf.

With very best wishes from a real fan (despite the impression my last visit to your forum gave),

Uncle Ian
