On a lighter note

Many years ago a pilot friend gave me a tape of an after dinner speech made by an ATCO. The ATCO in question had been a pilot in the RAF (I think) before joining ATC in EGBB. In short it was hilarious!! I had the tape 20 years ago, so this is a long shot - does anyone have a copy?Or better yet put it up on Youtube.

Thanks,

Patrick

What goes up might come down!

The high-flying humour of David Gunson:

Thats' the CD you are looking for I believe. Should be available on Amazon.

No problem!

I've got it on CD myself, not sure how or where I acquired it from, might have to give it a listen now!

But of course real connoisseurs of ATC have it on vinyl.
(That's like a big, black CD, about 1 foot in diameter).
