I,m guessing chevvron has never ventured north of Watford. Like most of them dahn sarf thinks there's no aviation goes on oop north.

If you wanna be like that, I landed at Unst (furthest north airport in the UK) in a Loganair Islander during a 4 week detachment to Sumburgh during which I also visted Foula(most isolated airfield in the UK).
I've also been to the Stadium of Light; do you know in Washington on the A1, you're almost in the Arctic yet there are still signs saying 'To the North'.

On an ATCO Cadet course just before mine (21 Course I think) all who graduated were posted to LATCC West Drayton. 6 resigned on the spot.

I know 2 of them from EGNX, chevvron. I know 'PK hasn't been NATS for a while, can you remember when it changed? We were talking about it recently up here. It was one of the aerodromes I put on my posting preference form. I hope it has a future, along with Blackpool.

PIK took over ATC services from NATS on 1 April 1993 (I started there on 12th July 1993 - there was a nice band wearing orange sashes & bowler hats out in the street to greet me - well, I assume that's what they were there for ! ... ;-) ;-)

As we were visiting team supporters (Fulham), we were given a police escort from the service area in Washington all the way to the stadium; motor bike outriders who went on ahead stopping other traffic at roundabouts and traffic lights and waving us through like we were Royalty!
Chatting to one of the 'bikers' before we left, he told us it was the only time they got overtime paid so they liked to 'push the boat out'.

Sunderland supporters were very friendly too; we chatted to one or two whilst in the queue for roast pork baps.

They will take applications for 2 weeks only.

https://www.iaa.ie/careers/current-v...ic-controllers

Starting date is 2 weeks after they receive your cv.

Can't imagine many going if the germans are also taking ready entries

Ah thank you, yes I see it now from a previous page in the thread. Looks like I've just missed the boat annoyingly, the airport seem rather reluctant to respond directly about vacancies of that nature.

Unlikely as it's tower/GMC only nowadays since Man. Sub Centre moved away.

Not sure which unit you were referring to but Liverpool is Aerodrome and approach, with both Liverpool and Doncaster approach on site.

Manchester is aerodrome and approach radar, with Manchester radar on site. The area sectors moved out but Manchester radar is still done locally.

Sorry I assumed Man Approach had gone to Scotland.

chevvron, as Crazy says, Manch' approach is still at EGCC as far as I'm aware. Unless of course there are new plans afoot to re-locate it to Ayrshire?
