ATIS, I've always taught people that when recording the ATIS, that you should imagine that you are reading a bedtime story to a backward three year old. That should give the correct pace to the transmission. My only experience of Brize ATC was being stuck there for three weeks while Lyneham's Radar was being replaced. This was many years ago but I have never seen so many miserable people in one place.
Wasn't the Tristar repaired with the wing from 4R-ULD, a Series 100 aircraft that was blown up at Colombo? Or is this just another piece of RAF folklore.
