London Centre
Just want to say a big thank you to London Centre for locating me and getting me back on track yesterday. I was on a flight to Sleap (EGCV) from Barton and the haze got the better of me. I was on my final leg from Ashcroft to Sleap when I simply lost my bearings and could not see anything I recognised. I circled for a while trying to identify ground features but with no luck. So I dialled in 121.5 and called for a location fix (wrongly addressing the operator as London Information, sorry!). I was overhead Whitchurch (but thought this was Oswestry) so at this point I made the call to head back to Barton and abort the flight due to vis.
The extremely helpful operator gave me a wind corrected bearing to get me back to Ashcroft so that I could then transit the LLR home. I then promptly managed to not find Ashcroft so I called up again and he gave me progressive directions until I was on top of the field.
Many thanks again, its not a nice feeling being lost, especially close to CAS.
