Was at Sumburgh 91 - 96, would probably still be there if HIAL had not taken over ADC. A great place to live and bring up kids. To add to 10DME's story, had a Nigel (his name actually was Nigel) try to turn inside the tower in an ATP, the only time in my career I have been under the desk as the ATP lumbered over the tower! Very best of luck with your interview.

Here's a few Sumburgh photos for you - there's a pic of the tower there somewhere, and the blue skies are real and not photoshopped!

Post Mortem

Just a quick note, as I had promised to follow on...

Contrary to expectations, the weather on arrival was indeed blustery, but I would classify it as "bracing" rather than anything more severe...perhaps there's worse to come? Anyway...

As other interviews are not completed I don't want to be too specific, but suffice to say my experience at EGPB was certainly more positive than otherwise might have been the case. The questioning was friendly, but sometimes forensic, mainly on basic ATC procedures, but otherwise I gave a good account. I also took the opportunity to visit with the tower and ops areas, everyone was very friendly, as I was lead to believe. The assistance I got on this forum was invaluable, and I wish to extend my thanks to all who contributed, humorous or otherwise (especially the PMs).

There now follows a nail biting wait period, hopefully I get an offer of a position.....

Thanks again to everyone...

Rocky01.
