Thank you Garp - please judge me by my original posting. Anything after that is less transparent as it could otherwise be as a result of some post deletion by Mods. Much of my responses are just that - responses to other postings which have sought to goad.
As for Anotherthing - this is something you may not be aware of too. The comment regarding failed wannabe pilot is a direct response to someone suggesting I may be a failed wannabe atco - now deleted. So, this was posted tongue in cheek.
With regard to substantiating the whole thing - I don't feel the need to do that. I didn't find it in a paper or on the internet, I have it direct from a spanish controller. Any further investigation is yours if you feel a real need.
Oh yes and "ex RAF aircrew are we?" says enough about you..........
