I'll be flying, VFR into LHR airspace this afternoon, and yesterday flew in IFR, I always enjoy the service and like all regulars you get to know the voices in your ears and which ones like a laugh and when. I was in the New York area last week and rate both sets of controllers very highly in very different, but equally busy airspace.
One question though, I've been to a couple of meetings at Swanwick, how the hell do you go there daily? I'd go mad after a couple of days (if not hours!)
SH650 really is rather strange, but the ignore button can be your friend.
