Cheers chaps!

Certainly a 'different' airport some times.

In a day you can get 737,738,757,Electra,DC-6,DC-3,any'Classic Flight' aircraft(Venom,Rapide,Anson,Prentice..etc etc), An-72,ATR,F100,BAE146,Extra300,various private types,various helicopters (sometimes miltary), and other odds and ends such the occasional 'warbird' doing a low pass on their way through. :D

If you look out hard enough on the right days for a C152, callsign Atlantic 52, with a guy who obviously cant land to save his life....

...that'll be me!

Blimey Murph is that you?? :eek:

I've often heard that callsign on my scanner when I'm working away at MAM.

Anyway I thought whole idea of landing WAS to save you life :D :D :D

Steve, I haven't seen anything really heavy in there, other than we used to get a regular Heavylift Hercules, or an occasional 707. :)

Well Atlantic 52, or 42 (I cant actually remember now, could be 42) is used by Atlantic Flight Training's two Cessna's. I'm doing my PPL with them with a view to move on to CPL etc etc, expensive but worth it, very well maintained (and indeed shiny...moving map GPS) aircraft and professional training.

Well life is very much saved, though a few of my bumps at Coventry have been biguns when it comes to landing. My best have been in Crosswinds bizzarely, I always have done things backwards.

It's good fun to do a crosswind final with a Thompsonfly 737 roaring up behind you as #2!
