After 12 months or so at Brum, I arrived at Manch Tower.[1969] I was greated by Dave Close, (acting Sup) with the words...."You are on Team B. We work as a Team, so we don't have Watches"
I have had the privelidge [sp] to work with some of Natures finest Gentlemen in my time at Manchester [Airport, PATCRU, Sub Centre, Tower and MACC[ Pete Perry, Les Miller, Alex Stark, Wall Scott in the old days, and latterly Alex Bristow.
I have NEVER been [to my knowledge] treated like a second class citizen.
DC10 would not believe me when I passed on the ethos of Manchester when we met.
Rose tinted spectacles? NO! I have been in Retirement now for just about 20 months. On reflection, would I do it again?
You bet I would.
