Posters in schools?... I'll get the training team to brace for a flood of Tower rating requests

A link to that PDF in the CTR controller info would be fine to refer to. Increase in landing capacity is always helpful if it runs properly - is it a pain for FLOW?

A hearty thankyou for VATPAC's best looking woman. Well done mate And welcome Mr Tyquin!

Congrats Paul, welcome to the team
