Great trip up to Castle Kennedy from Blackpool thank you fishbangwallop - technically still inside the London FIR but always tune into you when I can
Went up via the north end of the IoM - very hazy over that way (no real horizon) and a few actual clouds ~3000ft. Appreciated my IMC/IR(R) just for the comfort factor, and it made for a very relaxing afternoon.
Back via the Conway Firth and down the coast as D405/6 were unusually NOTAMed as hot even at the weekend (though 406 had gone home by the time I got there) - along with the RA(T) for the IoM TT this made for "interesting" routing
My Dad and I were both very impressed with the service, and almost continuous "break break" as you endeavoured to answer so many calls at once. Thank you once again. Perhaps all the way to Oban next time...
