Blackpool ATC.
Working hard as ever yesterday (Sun 11/12/05) with many GA flights 'enjoying' the weather. This frequency (Twr 118.400) is so busy to listen to and try and get a word in. Anyway, inversion really took hold in the afternoon with visibility reducing quickly and all getting a bit nasty resulting in lots of changed plans, cancelled trips and hurried returns to the field.
All dealt with in a 'safe, orderly and expedicious manner'. More than one nervous PPL comforted by the voice in the headset. (Thanks guys)
It's easy to complain about ATC services - usually unjustified.
Well done all round
