1. According to the 'Records Broken' displayed on the sixth floor SBU wall JK held the record for the most aircraft cleared for take off at the same time.
(HD, can you remember any of the other dubious 'records' ? I Can't, I havn't had the nurse yet....)

2. Croydon Tower is open first sunday of every month 1100-1600. See:

http://www.croydonairport.org.uk/

Be warned. There isn't a lift nor a Stannah.
Free entry for any ATCO called Mr. Cholmondly-Warner.

3. ISTR that GAAA was the London Airport Comms Centre. For routing W/T messages probably.

Aaaah....Lamson tubes.....
