Thank-you to RAF Warton
 

Would like to pass my thanks for the excellent Flight Information Service I received yesterday from the controller at Warton between 1730 and 1830. It was my first solo on the northern route, and I was very well looked after, and made to feel at ease, with such a busy circuit at the time, with a fair amount of traffic.

Very friendly and professional - thanks :ok:

I think you're confused by the MATZ, Warton is owned by BAE Systems, they sell aeroplanes to the RAF, but it's not an RAF airfield.

That said I agree, I've used a service from Warton several times in the last couple of years, and the level of professionalism and helpfulness is exemplary.

Genghis - you are quite correct, I stand corrected!

very friendly lot and home to the Lancs ASU (police chopper - whatcha Droopy).

Used to work there as a flight test engineer on EAP (became EFA and then Eurofighter) back when it was British Aerospace - Military Aircraft Division.

Either way, you're still liable to get a harrier through the cockpit if you mess up .... ;)

When i have used Warton they have always been very helpfull with matz crossings and happy enough for you to stay with them when working the local area.
