Smile THAT Binair voice - are there two of them?

Hi all, just had the pleasure of a certain female Binair pilot on the freq for the first time in ages but the question is this....I seem to remember one with a distinctly English accent but the same type of voice i.e. enough to make most of those present in the center drool. This one was clearly Germanic.
Anyone able to clarify whether there are two of them or is my memory letting me down?

That Binair pilot is a legend. I have yet to hear her but I'm doing my best to volunteer for as many nightshifts as I can. I've been told that I'll never validate until I hear 'the voice'.

Don't forget the old saying - the ones with the sexiest voices are usually sitting on two chairs!

Ah the Mrs Binair thread again... Mrs Binair because she (as i understand it) runs Binair with her husband. Normally sat next to her..
Everytime she is on, the speaker goe's up.. As was previously stated, she is not perhaps as you may imagine!
But people that have met her say she has a lovely personality!

ahh the lovely personality...what a killer.
Does anyone know a certain lady British pilot who insists on using far to many i's in the callsign every time she frequents the manchester TMA. Drives me mad everytime. Think its the 145 mostly up to Scotland.

Briiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitsh 2BY!!!

AAh the Binair lady,
I think that you are right, there are two. the one that we heard often on the LTMA had a french accent not german. mmmmm good thing we don't have pictures with the R/T

There are definitely two.
The Germanic one is indeed Mrs BinAir and flies with Mr BinAir and runs the company.
Unfortunately…… and I know I will ruin this for you all now. The voice nowhere near matches the rest of the package.
Now if you want a melting voice…. Who is the lady ATCO in Schwäbisch Hall ……..
Half German half Texan……… it got me going I tell you.

Oohhh, the lovely Bin Air... Once stayed half an hour past my shift, just to hear her...

My colleagues down in Bremen made a revision on their flightplan. The end of the conversation went like this: "And by the way: It's HER!!!" :-)

I wonder how many needless wind readouts and heading reports she gets to do. Down here we sure love it...

But speaking of lovely voices, it seems that BMI also has quite a few flying E-135/145. Can't wait to bump into them someday, but as some of you have mentioned I might be in for a nasty surprise...
