Cool

I'm glad to be able to offer another visit to Luton Tower but to avoid any disappointment, can I make it clear we are just a tower operation these days since the Approach Radar moved to TC at West Drayton. We do have a couple of radars you'll be able to look at but you won't be meeting the people on the end of 129.55.

Amended date.....

Some good news. Young Steve has said we can do two visits in March. That means 12 names will be pulled out of the hat this coming Friday.

The dates suggested are Sat 29th March afternoon or evening and Sat 22 March again, afternoon or evening.

I might be able to come and meet some of you afterwards for a pint if someone wants to have a drink in the Luton area. (but don't let that put you off applying....)

Watch this space on Friday.........

Sorry to be picky but if I'm picked could I also put my name in hat for the 15th March rather than the 22nd March. It's just one hell of a lot easier to cover than the latter.

First:

"What I will do though is 'draw' who is going next Friday 28th Feb."

Then:

"Watch this space on Friday........."

Sorry BRL - I'm so used to not getting chosen that I'd not checked the thread. PM to follow when I find my passport.

Must be my lucky week - I won a raffle yesterday.
