Who was that ATCO seen briefly in "Crowded Skies" staring though a pair of bins from LHR tower?
Why...............was it Point 7? The second best controller in the world? I wonder what he was looking at? Was it the new T5 construction site? Or was it a group of Virgin F.A.'s leaving the Queen's building?

That handsome fella was looking solely at the big jets making their way around LL and trying to ensure a safe, orderly and expeditious flow of traffic.
Oh, alright then, I was looking at hosties.:}

And fair play to the very straight talking and important seeming Newcastle ATCO - if only we were all as well dressed for work ;)

But P7, don't those crazy guys and gals at TC provide the "safe, orderly and expeditious fow of traffic"?
You just clear them to take off and land.....................:p :p :p
Seriously though, did you go in for that "Weakest Link" aviation special? The camera does love you baby!

Why do PR shots always have us looking through Bino's and pointing at jerbals at the thresholds of the runways.......
We all know that the ATCO's had to hide the Girly magazines and Scrabble before the media turns up, why not show the real side of ATC!
:E
Girly magazines
What like cosmo? Thought that was only read at city tower?
And P7, wish i was still on "that" watch might have got on camera myself!

We could make a Terrible Trio if it weren't for the fact that you were jumping ship to indulge in a spot of moose rustling.
The Good (me), The Bad (you) and The-Not-At-All-Ugly (Jets)
