This was an event to
say thank you to Mike Pike's real world counterpart, the former Senior
ATCO and now Operations Manager at Gloucestershire airport, Darren
Lewington.
Mike said, 'I have spent many a happy morning in the control tower with
him and his staff learning how they do this air traffic control lark
for real. I can safely say that he is the main reason why I am able to
make the virtual Gloster Approach sound so authentic. He has been very
supportive.
Last summer he was diagnosed with cancer but has made a full recovery.
He and his colleague Rob are making a sponsored free-fall parachute
jump in Mid April at Lewknor and on Tuesday 15th April, we made a cross
country navigation exercise to the site from Gloucestershire airport
and then on to Shoreham. |
