Wrong Destination.

I think it was in 1978 I was an Area Radar controller at Gailes Radar, Scotland. I was working a BEA/BAW Trident from Heathrow to Glasgow. They had started their descent and I was vectoring them towards the GOW. The crew then said sorry but we think we should be going to Edinburgh. Sharp right turn to the EDI. Spoke to the captain later on the phone and he was convinced he was going to EGPF. It was only when he was on the PA to the PAX at top of descent, giving them WX at PF that a passenger said hang on we should be going to EGPH.
