Heathrow Flight Clearance
I will certainly miss this service.
Having filed many a verbal flight plan on the mobile on the way to the airport (or sitting in the aircraft) HFC have provided me with an excellent level of service over the years.
Last time I used it was yesterday for a short-notice fuel run to Jersey.
The plan was in the system immediately and I had no delay in getting airborne.
The online stuff is fine if you have connectivity - I rarely get the chance to file whilst sitting in front of the computer (such is my way of life), the verbal FP route suited me well.
I occasionally get to send a fax to HFC (usually at an ungodly hour on the night before departure) and invariably would be telephoned with a polite confirmation of acceptance or query.
Shame to see it go,
