Radio 4 Drama 'Control' by Adrian Penketh

[Red Four]

It's not often there is a radio play concerning ATC, and I suspect many not aware of this one, available for another 29 days on i-Player: BBC Radio 4 'Control'

An interesting piece indeed. Wondering if I can just turn off the lights and play this at my next CRM/HF session.

PS - Just to be clear, even though Pushing Tin was never going to win any awards, it was great fun!

Especially the bit where you see Angelina's t1ts

[Squawk 7500]

I almost switched it off in the first minute after the controller gave taxi instructions to a vehicle. I stuck with it. It was quite good.

I was with Squawk7500!! Crap......

And didn't I hear the Ground Controller giving take off clearance?

[The Many Tentacles]

At least the frequency for Bristol Approach was correct!

[Daysleeper]

I thought it was an accurate portrayal of some of the possible reactions to a serious accident. Very good.

Another play by Adrian Penketh on R4 today - "7500". Enjoyed this and "Control".
