Report passing "MARGO"
After 43 years she has finally called it a day....that said her name will live for ever, that is if you fly the upper air routes into Scotland!....She was a reporting point with kindness and baking skills second to none but I am sure we will not see the last of those heavily laced Christmas cakes....good luck.

Very best of good luck to the dear lady and glad she is now immortal.
Being an old git the name brings back memories of Margaret Sword. Bet there aren't many - if any - on here who remember her.

"At least until they change the upper airspace again, then MARGO will have to make way for yet another meaningless, computer generated, 5 letter from Brussels."
MARGO was neither meaningless nor computer generated!!! She was just one of the old school and a good one at that!!

Ah I see!
I just remember her pitching up at the college (some people still referred to it as the school back then) when exams were imminent, acting as invigilator. I`m sure she was my assistant for my approach procedural exam too.

All of this speculation... would the real Margo stand up!
If you knew her, you'd never forget her, if you didnt, then your life has missed something.
The life and sole of many a great piss up at ECC in the days of yore.
Hope she enjoys the time off.
Very fond memories of long nights and terrible hangovers

I had fun asking my F/O a couple of months back if he knew why MARGO was used as the name of an airway fix.
He looked at me as if I had lost my bananas. Think the phrase 'You need to get out more' was uttered!
