TDM, HD, and everyone ex-LL

I asked recently on another forum about Marvin and apparently he was pulled over the coals bigtime for it, so he isn't heard as much as before.

He was like Marmite - either love him or hate him, but he amused me.

There ceratainly were many personalities. i.e. A BA Skipper on transfer from DTY to TMA NW (EGLL on Easterlies) asked on first call "Any chance of a quick snatch this Morning, London" to which my reply was "Well I haven't had one but by all means you're welcome".



In technical ATC terms a "Quick Snatch" in this case meant fly from WOG to just west of Windsor for a turn onto finals for 09, thus missing out BNN, etc.

Then there was Captain French in 1-11s for BEA. Always cheerful. First call inbound to the Tower was always "Morning all..."

From the other side of the "fence" for want of a better expression.
I've been flying rotary out of STN for 20 years and have recently moved to pasture new. At the start, Essex and Anglia were in the portakabin and the HAP was outside Inflite - how times change!
Many thanks to all at STN, Essex and Heathrow Special/Thames. No more trips to Battersea for me.
