Tall Guy - you mean the "Thames Controllers" - not City Radar which is a discrete freq for flypasts/no 2 director at EGLC.

However, during flypasts the freqs should be published and envouraged to MONITOR! (Even I would accept you calling if you expected to be in the same place at the same time etc) The people on 132.7 get annoyed when traffic at the Lea Valley calls routeing Elstree to Southend via Stapleford overhead at 1500ft. But that is a thread to itself.

ATCO17 - keep ranting if it helps mate!!! Speak on the landline/telephone checks!!! Just another day in paradise fella. (You have the space old chap!!!)

Personally, I think the whole system is flawed. Flypast jets should be given a better routeing and access to CAS to make it safer for them, safer for joe public who need protecting(!!) and easier for us.
