Trim Stab,

Please mention the fact you are unfamiliar to Director if you think you may struggle to find you way around the taxiways, they will pass on the message to us and we can rustle up a follow me vehicle for you.:ok:

Please check your PMs.

Gonzo,

Thanks - I was going to post separately about ground taxing, but since you bring up the subject here, are there standard (or at least probable) routes that I might get for the taxi from the active runway to Royal Lodge?

From the southern runway it's pretty easy.

From 27R you can expect to taxy westbound, most probably on Bravo, then down Echo or Foxtrot, then east on Alpha or Bravo to N5W to cross.

From 09L, expect to taxy eastbound on Alpha, then south on Alpha, to either N1, or continuing west on Alpha to N3 or N4E to cross, the latter most likely.

...when cleared...

Can't speak for LHR but, wenIwos in RAF ATC doing PAR talkdown, it was nice to know if I was getting a Lightning or an Anson ;)

How did your visit to LHR work out?

If the service you received was, as expected, good, how about telling everyone!
