It has been said a million times but we are good at whingeing, and not so good at praising a job well done.
I still reckon the guys and girls at Shoreham tower have got the balance just right doing a difficult job.
There are times the curt remark is called for when someone is being a complete Wally and it is rightly given. Equally there are times when someone is obviously out of their depth, new to the game or whatever and the controller needs to be helpful and constructive in sorting them out and getting them on the ground safely - they do that as well. Finally there are the locals who enjoy the odd bit of banter and hopefully keep us all entertained and remind us flying is a serious business but we also enjoy it - they do that as well. Well done Shoreham!
