Here we go, we are allowed 7 people to visit the tower. The dates available are Fri Oct 4 OR Sat Oct 19th. If all goes well there shouldn't be a problem with another visit so don't despair if your not 'choosen' this time around.

As for picking the names out, shall I do it right now here at home or leave it until next Sat at the bash in London for you to witness it? What do you think?. Do you wan't to know right now so you can book a day off or can you wait a week?

BRL - If I'm not too late, can you pop my name in the hat.

I will of course plea that I should get a place in return for organising the Swanwick visit.

Alternatively guys why don't you just organise it yourself, most atc visits I have had were done by myself and the ATCO's are normally very accomodating.

Just trying to save you from being disappointed!

If anyone needs a lift from either Redhill or some of the local stations, assuming you don't all drive then let me know. Given that the 4th is POETS day and I live locally it makes no odds to me.

19th Please

I won't be able to make 4th October so you may as well take me out of the hat for that one. Still interested in the 19th, tho'.

Evo7 is temporarily uncertain of password, but I will happily take his place. Either day is fine for me

So, does anyone fancy organising one 'up north' for those of us who get nosebleeds at the thought of Luton, let alone Gatwick?

I can't do it myself as I don't 'know' anybody as I'm fairly new to all this.

MAN would be great! LPL, EMA, LBA or even BHX or NCL are other options, and this might take the pressure off places on the next Gatwick one, too.

If only the powers that be realised just what an education and sefety benefit things like this can be!
