Spiney - You are a top guy. Not only did you give me direct Northwich/BTN today (saves time, but more importantly gives old SSD a view of some new territory) but I think t'was you a couple of weeks ago who worked me again in LLR past the two Pumas (Warlock formation) coming the other way. You picked up my Chippy as traffic orbiting near Hatton (sister's house - before I'd called you).
Keep looking after us PPLs. We need you. Hope the Christmas rosters allow for resonable cheer and the weather gives you some days like today for aviating.
Many thanks.
SSD
PS - SL going for an annual in Jan. We'll get that xponder fixed!
