The boss at EGLF is a good egg, I used to work with him at LATCC. Hopefully you won't have any problems. What I can remember it's the busiest LARS unit in the UK. But if you're only doing tower then you won't see that unless of course you ask to sit and watch the radar for a few sessions, well worth it.

You will find the gang at Farnborough are great. They will make you feel very welcome. The Boss is a great fella! Tower is very new and shiny and if you like the look of biz jets then you will enjoy the scenery. ATC do runway inspections so they will have you out in "ATC 1" as soon as poss!! Take in as much as you can and spend time downstairs too if able. Just make the most of it and remain enthusiastic but I guess that goes for any OJT placement. Oh... and take the stairs at least once!

And if you really want to get on his good side, he's very partial to a nice bottle of red wine or Single Malt Whisky (but if he ever tells you that tequila is good for cleansing the pallet, don't believe him! it WILL end in tears).
(And when you see him, tell him the Aussie says Hi!)

Aww crap............when he trained me, he tried to teach me to spell as well. 
Although, the stuff he had could probably clean loads of different things..............like an engine.

Last OJT we had was on a course just ahead of you initials are CO to give you a clue. Suggest you have a chat with him and he will put you right. Looks like you are coming to our Watch, we are quite friendly as long as you do not talk about banding
I am sure you will enjoy it as much as we do
If you really want to take the stairs you are on your own pal!!
Runway inspections are a part of life at LF, get in early enough and you can have a free trip in a white Freelander
We are not in on the 4th but will be on the 5th so see you then.
