almost professional:
Sorry, I can't remember exactly. On Sunday, I flew Barton/WHI/LIC/Bourn and was aiming to get back before the bad weather arrived from the south-east. It would have been circa 12.00Z at LIC. Callsign is GYBAA (hence my Pprune handle). Did I speak to you?

indeed you did, at least on the way out-did I remember to tell you about the gliders at cross hays?

almost professional:
Yes, you did, and thank you.

On Sat I was IFR routing NW via Lichfield circa 1300Z under your RIS. I requested to route W from LIC to avoid Cross Hays. You quickly handed me on to Birmingham. A nice reminder to watch the CAS.

On Sun, returning, I was VFR and under FIS. You requested my position, presumably to confirm what you suspected, warned me about unknown tfc close to LIC and also mentioned the gliders. Above and beyond the call of duty as you were providing only FIS (and the other traffic was not working you), but the sort of thing that the GA pilot appreciates.

Anyway, that's why I said 'excellent service.'
AA.

AA,
glad to have been of service, great to know its appreciated. certainly my watch, and i like to think the rest of the unit, try to help where we can, despite the problems this year of being short staffed and dealing with a large increase in scheduled IFR traffic. Speak to you again sometime,

AP

Thats what I'd have expected, guess I was just unlucky on those occassions. Thanks for balancing!
