A few photos from todays visit to AIS at Heathrow. About 25 pilots made it. Many thanks to Today’s Pilot who did us proud with items for the goody bags. Unfortunately no photos of anyone wearing the TP baseball caps or carrying copies of the mag.
Those who attended appreciated fabulous views of the airport from the roof of the Contropl Tower building. We got to visit the Visual Control Room itself, Thames Radar, AIS and had the run of a comms gallery where we could listen in on the frequencies while being able to see all of the movements.
Phil Bate of UK AIS and Howard Dubovie of the CAA DAP Aeronautical Charts & Data section gave very informative talks. NO 1 AIDU (RAF) gave us loads of goodies, we were given lunch and there was much informal chatting with our hosts.

If you put your name forward for this visit please check your e-mails.
If you were one of the first 30 to reply you will have had an email from me asking for you to confirm that you will definitely be able to attend. If I don’t get that confirmation I will be offering your place to the next person on the list so [EMAIL=michael.cross@telecall.uk.com]email me now[/EMAIL] in reply.
Please let me know if you can’t make it so your place can be re-allocated.
We need to be in the foyer of the Control Tower Building at 10:20 on 12 June. I will be at the Costa Coffee Shop on the mezzanine floor in Terminal 2 from about 10:00 and everyone attending will get an e-mail with my mobile number. Suggest we meet up there and walk over en masse.
If you miss the rendezvous the Control Tower Building is opposite Terminal 2, the entrance is on the right hand side of the building looking from T2. Use the entryphone to get in.
Expect to finish around 14:30, later if everyone is having fun.
Feel free to bring cameras and binoculars. The view is superb.
