Shoreham ATC are excellent.
However, flying today, I hope that all pilots in the circuit carry passports because some were flying the base leg for 02 in French airspace
I can see why some people fly big circuits but today was pretty amazing.
abgd - well done
but do report the crap radio to the owner of the school. It is only by moaning that anything gets fixed. I had a radio failure in the circuit during my PPL, and immediately bought the Icom radio which still lives in my emergency bag...
