A certain corporate helicopter pilot was rather frustrated that he (and everyone else, mind) was orbitting in the LHR zone due to a hold-up on the FATO at EGLW.

After about ten minutes he asked ATC what was going on. ATC explained there was a rotors running refuel on the Spot 1.

Said helicopter pilot then intending to brief his pax, but forgetting to select intercom, rather than remaining on VHF box 1, transmitted angrily: "Sorry folks, it's ATC's fault -they've completely f****d this up!!"

ATC: "Thanks for that, whoever it was!"

"Not us!" said we , followed by at least two other innocent callsigns!
