Can I ask for a "no compass, no gyro" approach & PAR next time please??
Mike, The 'No Jumper, No Biro (sic)' approach is easier to do than a normal one... we don't have to add or subtract!!

A speechless approach with a further emergency might be quite good fun in the London TMA (no, that's not an invitation to do one!) and a totally different proposition altogether ... unfortunately any civilian controllers who have no mil experience will more than likely disregard carrier wave only transmissions, and certainly won't know how to establish the nature of your second emergency when you can't actually talk on RT (unless they hit it lucky when listing everything they can think of... a bee in the cockpit (an old Beefer favourite) is very hard to ascertain )
