Norman Whitelock was my first Watch Supervisor at Heathrow. He was equallyat home doing Watch Sup or any ATCO or ATCA operational position - might be doing No.2 DIR one minute and next he'd be strip bashing in the tower to give some ATCA an EG.
When time came for my Approach Board the French and Spanish were on strike and there was very little traffic. Norman was an examiner too so he sent everyone away and it was just him on North APC and me on #1 DIR for an hour. That was my practical board!!
Brian.... I had no idea you came to LL from LATCC; I thought you came straight from Boscombe!! We could have exchanged a few stories about Spud.
Take care... Bren
