Thumbs up to MCR
Did a comp A to MCR in '05 or '06. Saturday afternoon in holiday season, very busy as I recall. Whole MCR team were great, ATC slotted us into the stream with no delays and found us a nice quiet freight bay to stop on- 2 engines shut down and family offloaded to waiting car and straight out of a back gate with not a moments delay. Departure painless too. I think the clearance I asked for was something like "your vectors any reasonable height, left turn out - destination Brize.' We got it ! In retrospect we were an unscheduled additional movement they probably could have done without on holiday changeover day, but we couldn't have asked for a slicker performance. Nonetheless, it made a big difference to one family, ....and the spotters (and tax payers) who got to hear half a minute or so of Mr Conway's finest noise abatement in a very light Fun Bus
