Hey Standard; was there any comeback after your 'desertion' from that overseas 'contract'?

according to BRS airport website, NATS have taken over the contract for the tower........?

i only know this because i'm going for NATS and living in somerset,BRS is my nearest most convenient airport. i spotted it on their news page last week

Well, unfortunately, it's not just the tower, they've taken over the whole damn building!!!

Chevvron - sorry, you've lost me. I and the person you're thinking of are not, obviously, one and the same. BTW, what is it you shoot, clays?

Must've confused you with someone else at Bristol.

I don't do clay shooting; tried it once but the darn things won't hold still! I tend to go for defenceless bits of cardboard. I've tried everything up to full bore at 600yds (did a 35/50!) but my forte' is 10m Air Rifle, and before everyone scoffs, the bullseye is half a millimetre in diameter! Try it, it's very relaxing.

Seem to recollect Heathrow Director used to do small bore.

I prefer a moving target myself. I reason that if I can hit a clay, then the rest would be too easy. Especially if it's a bigger target.:E
