I'd like to say Thank You to Mike for organising the day - it was fantastic.

And another Thank You to Phil Bate and all his team for providing such an interesting and informative presentation, NATS certainly pushed the boat out for us.

Visiting Thames Radar and seeing the number of unidentified blips on the screen in the area where I fly made me realise that a call to them probably would not go amiss.

We couldn't have wished for better weather either, from the roof we could see the Nat. West Tower and Canary Wharf and to the west, Stokenchurch Mast. The controllers up in the top of the control tower have the best office windows in the world!

It was a strange feeling strolling into Terminal 2 without any luggage instead of rushing in looking for a check-in desk. I'll never be able to fly from Heathrow again with looking at it in a completely different light.

Finally, thanks to all the pilots who performed landing and take-offs so flawlessly all day. The Seneca that came in looked a little out of place though.
