Flew into STN yesterday, departing we were told line up behind the landing traffic and be ready, then while lined up told cleared immediate take off landing traffic at 3miles, landing traffic told expect late landing clearance.
lol,, down in Madrid the first landing traffic would have taken up the hold because we were about to call for taxi!
They really are poor down there, The UK ATC show how its done with just one runway let alone 4!,,, O and the weather was poor too with popping out at about 150ft from minimums
