A big thank you, Farnborough Radar

I just wish to express my sincere thanks and admiration for the ATCO on duty at Farnborough Radar between 1300 and 1400 local for giving me such professional, calm and generous help during my first solo navex and first solo R/T experience. WW to Marlborough (er, supposedly) and back. Thanks again for making it a much less daunting experience; I certainly feel more confident now getting in touch with ATC, and promise to get to grips with the correct phraseology.

Cool

I know who that was. I'll pass on your thanks, as he's totally computer illiterate, but a star ATCO of the first order.

... could he be from a small country the other side of the bridge? (Severn - not Stamford!) Only his has a better footie team managed by a national. Unlike yours. And mine!

Take it easy!!

Wee Jock Thank you very much indeed for offering to “pass the message”. He is indeed a star and a true gentleman; and I now suspect everyone of you at Farnborough Radar is.

Couldn't possibly comment on Pprune radar's "size" Altho that would explain why he walks funny at times!!!!!!

PS sorry it took me so long to reply but greetings all from sunny Vancouver

I presumed that all ATCO 1's walked funny. Because given the chat you ATCO 3's say about them, they all have their thumb up their arse most of the day.

Or have I got it wrong again and its SATCO's who have their finger up the bum most of the time?
