Thames Radio mix up

Further to the chaos at Heathrow due to the QNH and time being the same, today on Heathrow SVFR at time 1345 a Seneca G-BOBR was told "Traffic at two o'clock, same level, right to left".

Seneca took up the orbit for fifteen minutes and when clear of the traffic at 1401, continued without further incident. No reporting action was taken as the controller concerned missed the incident as they were on a break.

Someone bandbox Ground, for god's sake! He's got too much time on his hands.

But then again, maybe not. Then Deps would end up doing even more of his job than last week!

Can I guess it was P7 attempting ground this morning then, and failing miserably to get the "birds" off the runway adequately
