I even heard Scottish info doing their job for them on Tues as neither the phone nor the radio was being answered.
I was not really doing their job,only that an aircraft I had been working inbound to Cumbernauld returned to my frequency advising he could not get a response from Cumbernauld. I phoned the airfield and was advised by someone that the radio was unmanned but was given the runway in use and told the circuit was empty..This I then passed onto the aircraft and told him just to make blind calls on Cumbernauld frequency.
To be honest here at Scottish Info we have a very good working relationship with all the clubs and airground staff at Cumbernauld so cannot say more than that. I do know however at times the tower is unmanned especially if an aircraft requires fuel etc and I guess at times like that you just need to make blind calls.
