Lewknor NavEx
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.
