Bailbrook was for sure a good place to be
A lot of fun memories from that place.
Remember I once dressed as a munk during a costume party did go into the old man sitting in the reception with his hearing aid (building with a lot of "Old ghost stories") and order a taxi.
Next day the poor man did resign.....out of fear
Also remember when we got blamed...after a kind of wet Norwegian party...that we had destroyed the fundation in the cafeteria building. They did go through the whole school next day and did among other things find a huge crack down the wall in the small room by cafeteria
Luckely someone had filmed that wall early in the evening with the crack there
One not so good memory was one of the beers they did serve in the sosial club....Indian Summer....really warm and pale beer
The instructors were great..however not allways updated to what happened to ATC after the 50s
Still remember getting told... " Speedcontrol is no substitute for good vectoring"
Our course had a trip back there some years ago after 10 years in the job. We did manage to meet up with our course manager Bob/Rob Pegg and some of the pilots as well. Was a fun time
