Needless to say, i have rarely experienced holding in the UK, except in a training modus, and the UK controllers i have experienced seem Heli friendly and have had no real gripes there. I guess when you are used to dealing with more traffic you become proficient and can expidite things quickly. I have great admiration for the boys and gals down at EGKA who seem to be able to do their jobs well under even of the busiest times
But my initial comment was a gripe at the Norwegian Controllers. Saying that, always had good control from ENBR, ENZV & ENGM. Its just places like ENTO, ENRY, ENSN that need to wind their necks in abit.
