Annie Longstaff (Piggott), Course 49

Annie Longstaff (Piggott) is finally hanging up her headset to sail off into the sunset.

Since starting her career back on Course 49, Annie has been providing the 'Full Service' for nearly 30 years at Birmingham and Bournemouth Airport.

She is having her Retirement do on Saturday 4th February and would love anyone who has been part of her air traffic career to join her.

For more details please private message me.

Seconded Annie!

Talkdown Man - I'll bet it's up to 149 by now! My baby was on 98 and that was almost 16 years ago.

Happy New Year Jez ( and everyone else),

Are you really only 57? I knew all that polo playing would be bad for you!

Cheers Brian W

Nice to hear from some 27ers..........seems a long time ago now! I retired on my 58th birthday, 3 months into the retirement and still enjoying every minute & can recommend it!
Best wishes to all retirees & all I worked with at Gailes, Atlantic House, Heathrow TWR, West Drayton & LTC Swanwick.

For Jez

The 5 Favourite Lost Causes of 2012

5. England beat France in <whatever game>

4. Gideon Osborne says 'Call me by my real name'

3. Politics gets clean

2. Dyer stays awake in a morning shift.

...and at number One, for the 20th consecutive year.....

1. <<(T/D man) ............Stop being so bloody grumpy!! :-) >>

( it's an all-time winner...)

Have a good 2012, in spite of the Mayan calender, and I'llsee you on the far side.
