From: Do I come here often?
I was flying a helicopter from Geneva to London on Saturday and transitted the LGW over head. Gatwick Director was very busy with most of the PA28's and Cessnas from the south of England wanting to do low approaches. I believe they managed to accomodate everyone and even offered a touch and go to one chap for £980 + VAT.

Normally a LGW overhead transit is a nice peaceful affair, controlled airspace and everyone doing as they are told, Saturday was utter mayhem, my Co and myself laughed all the way to Bovingdon.

Utterly sexist comment: didn't the lady LGW Director have a wonderfully sexy voice?
