Thumbs up GP Silverstone & Turweston

I concur with Brilliant Stuff, I was working both days with Heliair & what ppruner's need to understand is that Heliair had to work within the confines of the facilities provided by Silverstone circuits, eg the number of courtesy vehicles provided to transfer pax into the circuit & the 'flow' of vehicles over the bridge, there were many more......
ATC were brilliant, approx 1500 movements on race day involving just over 100 heli's. A special mention too for Turweston with a basic air/ground operation which handled over 60 parked heli's plus refuelling & a Heliair shuttle.

All the customer's I spoke to at Silverstone & Turweston said they had a great day & the GP was pretty good too !
