G-CCAU is just scary! The pilot used one of his 9 lives on that one...........

I'd be happy to use all 9 on that one!

I would imagine the pilot and the Aerodrome General Manager had an interesting chat after

I should think the head of maintenance will have lost one of his lives too!

What did the General Manager have to do with it?

[eivissa]

"When the commander contacted Redhill ATC, he was advised that the Aerodrome General Manager was not in favour of his proposed actions. It was suggested that the commander should divert to Biggin Hill, but he elected to continue to Redhill."..."ATC again informed the commander that the Aerodrome General Manager did not approve of his intended actions."

What did the General Manager have to do with it?

He's refering to the G-ELTE/Redhill incident.
