Masked - a question (1 ATCO to another)?

When I got my transit I was outside at 2000ft, dropped down to 1500ft just before Great Dunmow, orbited abeam the field, then crossed in between two on the approach at about 2 miles. During this the frequency changes were Essex Radar - Stansted Director - Stansted Tower - Stansted Approach. Bear in mind this wasn't some slow 80-90Kt puddle jumper, but something that cruises at 150Kts

Keep it simple - why not straight over the landing threshold at 2000ft? No holding, no change in level, transit's out of your hair a lot quicker. I do it all the time - it saves a lot of messing around.
