Thumbs up

EYB- apparently Aer Lingus limit their skippers to only one LCY landing a day, more than that apparently being too stressful to the poor chaps!

I'm still waiting to see how close I can get to the runway before getting sent around for a tardy departure. Record so far ( a few days back) is less than .5 nm! Good work folks.

10 is definitely the harder end- very odd air currents, even on a day with light winds.

I saw our dead 146 yesterday... I did the early 755 (although I am actually on leave just now- see, can't live without my daily LCY fix). Best (legal) fun in aviation, doing a visual approach into LCY 10, 2000 feet over Westminster, hang a left down the Thames and land, avoiding sundry helicopters, radio traffic spotters and lost PPLs. Wonderful fun.
