Hi Scarecrow

sorry to be a pain - the SYS103 requested was on the 18th (time at Doncaster 1318zulu) not 17th as stated in your reply. Is your reply stating the 17th in error? Also SYS103 on the 18th is showing on the ATC Doncaster flight strips, log and airport movement computer as an A109 although no reg is entered. If it was a Griffin and not an A109 I'm going to have to speak to the ATCA in question, as well as amending all the logs etc.

As the 18th was a Sat ATC was not open at Shawbury so no stats are kept. The helis operate on a 'field conditions' departure, and I was at RIAT as well. It dep to Donny way on friday but as to who was flying what on a sat I'm afraid we don't know, sorry.

SY103 is normally a Griff c/s but it may have been a A109 but I doubt it !!

thanks Scarecrow

I've double checked the date and it was indeed the 17th. So a Griifin not a A109

That's what happens when there a controller in the assistant position.

The same happens here. We keep them in their place !!
