Yes, and the EGTK SATCO was among the calmest people I have ever met. He'd put a hat on very willingly and work the busy circuit like the best of 'em. He was Phil Frogley, one of the first test pilots on hovercraft! When he was seriously annoyed he would say "Shave off". Real gent of the old school, sadly no longer with us.. Mike East was Dep SATCO and ATCOs were Les Binyon (died in a car crash in Africa), Gordon Bush (now returned home to Canada), John Downey (dunno where?) and Richard Piggot (dunno where?). The ATCA was one Mike Hockley, later in the CAA, who worked 28 hours every day!

Great place to have a nervous breakdown!!!
