Thanks for the memories! I recall Tony being an absolute gentleman and an ace controller who was well respected by many of the AMM crews based at Manchester his name was often mentioned during briefings along the lines of 'I hope it's Tony on today' or 'it was great to get back off a long homeward sector and hear Tony's friendly voice when we called up Manchester'
I remember chatting with him one time and he was giving out a little (kinda tongue in cheek) about the young whipper-snappers coming into the job at MAN he commented about how he'd taken over a shift to find half a dozen aircraft stacked because the young 'un needed time to arrange them neatly for their approach. He took the seat and got about to work 'pushing tin' style as the young controller looked on aghast at his skill and coolness!
