LFA 19

During the mid 80`s, my occupation included the booking cell for LFA 19. One day I received a call from a trainee Harrier driver who honestly wanted to book numerous slots for his last pairs ride.
After picking my jaw up from the floor I explained the reason for denying his request...blah blah.. busiest helo place in Europe, no safe divs etc and how did he found out.
One of the instructors, wily old foxes, had suggested in all (dis)honesty, that LFA19 was a legitimate low level route!
I`m sure South Armagh would have boiled over after the first sortie!
