Despite the 12" high dramatic headlines in some rags this morning, there wasn't much excitement about it at work yesterday. I went in at 2pm and it wasn't until around 5pm that someone just happened to mention it in passing.

However, being as I was in the middle of swotting for my check-out, I was looking through radio failure procedures and the thought struck.. Unusual conversation heard... crew does the drill and ATC gets the message.. then the a/c suffers an RT failure and starts its approach over London. What would the Tornadoes have done..... I find it somewhat scary to think about.
