Stephen Hawking - ATIS/AERIS Monopoly
 
I would like to know how Stephen Hawking managed to get the sole agency to broadcast the ATIS/AERIS services across the country and whether this job was advertised publicly, or did a mate organise it for him?

He doesn't have a complete monopoly on it as a female voice does the ATIS at RAAF bases.

It could be a relation of his though!

:ok:

Stephen Hawking is an imposter! He has copied the leader of the Daleks, DAVROS! EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE! ........Oh right that must be CASA regarding GA in Australia!

The volmets in the UK and Europe are a laugh. The UK's not too bad but some of the accents over Europe are to be heard to be believed. Takes a few goes to get it all down. :D

G'day Jet A Knight, thats a good one - i like it!

i'd always thought over the years that it sounded just like Stephen A Hawking!!!

I take it that Stephen Hawking is that American chap we hear all over Australia on various AWIS's.

He's a very busy man :}

I agree with Sancho...."Where IS the Doctor?":} :} :}

Now THAT's weird!!!:8

I suppose he also had a guest spot on the song called 'How does it make you feel' by the French band 'Air'!

Where DOES he find the time?!

The other day he told me the visibility was "one zero kilometers" yet I could see 70 miles to the horizon. Liar.
