My friend asked a good question earlier which I wasn't able to answer as I haven't even had my first PPL lesson yet (week on Saturday!!
).
We were down at Yeovilton this evening to see if anything was happening (which it wasn't), but all the taxiway lights were on. I looked at the control tower and it was clear there was nobody in it - it's normally quite easy to tell because you can see the controller's silhouette.
He said 'there must always be SOMEONE in the tower, it's a MILITARY airfield! What if something needed to land in an emergency or something?'
Does anyone know the answer?
