PPL...
On another topic entirely, we had filed a VFR flight plan from Collonsay for the way back, but Scottish Control on 127.275 didn't seem to have a copy to activate it (even though it was addressed to Prestwick FIR). Is there some other AFTN address we should use?
To be honest the FPL would have been in the system but as VFR traffic is never put into our computer system the sector controller may not have received your strip. As Scottish Info on 127.275 is shared with at times a busy radar sector the controller probably never had time to go searching. My Scottish Info sector on 119.875 is a non control or radar sector so we would have time to chase up your plan and phone AFPEX to activate.
