Spacing on Final Approach
Hello there Antigua....bet you've forgotten the original post.....this has been a good read. If perchance this happens again and you want to keep it in-cockpit I recommend you get hold of a copy of the AIC on Wake Vortex. A pilot is entitled to ask for increased space from the one ahead....if the controller asks why I would respond "for operational reasons"....if the controller asks a second time then YOU report him/her......and respond that you will discuss it after landing with his/her supervisor. The London TMA is not a good venue for protracted negotiation over the RT. This solution is not intended to exactly address your original post but offers a practical alternative to get round the problem, at least until you land and the adrenalin levels have settled.
