Barbados Flight
CF Yes it was running late but it was perfectly entitled to remain supersonic as long as it was on the Supersonic route, and I said [after co-ordination] that he could turn direct Hazel as soon as he was subsonic. The channel route can be used supersonic much further east than it was in this case; in fact the French conc used to come in that way. Itwas no big deal at the time and I would do the same for any flight if the circumstances and the traffic situation permitted.
