As an ex-RWC of many years.. what goes on in 'the van' stays in 'the Van'
To call it the laziest job in TG9 5aday however, is doing the role and all that do it and have done it a major disservice.
Many many potential incidents have been stopped due the sharp eyes of the Runway controllers. Its always safety first above and beyond anything else, but it was always nice to get a 'Thanks' from the aircrew afterwards. One well known very angry Bucc/Tornado guy even made the effort to come down to the van to thank me in person once.
