Typhoon Timing

Airsound - I too was speechless - but only because it took a while to stop laughing. I also particularly liked the comment:
they won't be around for very long
If you will permit a crusty comment from the GRANBY flypast over London, then there was a central controller who was wary of the difficulties of coordinating Air and Ground timings. He had the authority to advance or delay the 'overhead' call and I had an Observer to pay close attention to what I was doing in the lead of Navy and Army helos. Sticking rigidly to a planned time does not always work.
