You wern't very sympathetic when I told you that I was freezing my nads off in a piper cub in Jan going up Glen Shee heading towards the Ghru. It certainly wasn't a problem shared. In fact I think it cheered your day up.
Although having a numb arse and testicals that resemble half a walnut can't really be classed as an emergency.
And to be fair N/S the info boys do actually check up on you if they have lost contact with you. As said they are proberly better at working out estimates than most pilots. Which is another reason why I suspect they want a pic and data in G-INFO because they certainly do give that number a phone to make sure you have arrived or phone the twr at your declared destination. I know that when I forget to ask the tower to let them know on the way in by the time I have shut down and got to a phone they have already phoned up and checked we are home.
And although FBW is seen on here as the face of Scottish INfo the rest of them are very similar in thier service and shall we say application of common sense.
