FBW,
Good to hear you're getting yourself back into the sky. I am sure I have spoken to yourself and others at Scottish whilst flying out of Oban and Cumbernauld. You guys and girls are always polite and never express any sort of frustration even with the pilots who sometimes fluff their calls, for that I commend your professionalism.
If you ever fancy a bit of flying around the Oban area both my brother and I would be more than happy to take you for a jolly. As other posters have alluded to it's good to put a face to a voice.
Anyway best of luck with your flying endeavours and I am sure you will have little difficulty achieving the NPPL.
Regards MF

Madflyer26....once again many thanks to you to.......its easy to see why I want to get back into flying when everyone just seems so happy to help ....as for speaking in the past yes no doubt we have....someone once said I always sound so cheery on the radio and that is so true...its easy to be happy in your work when talking to nice folk like we do.
As for never getting frustrated 
well that s also true...its far better you come on my frequency and make a mess of it than speak to Glasgow when they are really busy with commercial stuff!! Look forward to speaking soon.

hehe - back in the day I remember Scottish asking what the sea was looking like near Largs and telling me how much he was looking forward to getting out there later that afternoon. Just shows ya...!
