At least one of the LK Sqns (and I suspect more than one of them) has been having 'Surge Days' recently. This seems to means that they attempt to launch as many of their ac as posible (up to 60 I was told!) at the same time, or at least close together.
This is a great trick, but the local ATC must be working like one-armed paper hangers (I take my hat off to 'em), especially when they all come back together.
When you take into acount the Mildenhall traffic, I can see how they wouldn't have the capacity to deal with (no offence) lower-priority traffic.
Good to see you're at least trying to participate!
Why no Mode C?
