Title: How proud can you get?
Post by: KitS on May 21, 2009, 10:03:19 am
I'm known for going on a bit about my daughter Anita, who's an ATC Sergeant in the RAF. I've always said that she's amazingly good at what she does, having seen her in action many times in Towers and threshold caravans on various RAF stations. Well today she proved it!

Every year Vosper-Thorneycroft Aerospace present a trophy to the RAF Air Traffic Controller who's best at their job, voted by their user squadrons, Senior ATC Officers and Station Commanders.

Well this year ANITA WON IT!!!!!!!!!

I am so chuffed it's not true!

You must be (and rightly so) a very proud dad, and well done to you both.
You both deserve the praise that she has brought to you and your family.
A great achievement.

Well done to her for this award.
Where is she stationed ?

At the moment she's at Odiham, where the Chinooks live. Or where they WOULD live if they weren't all out in Afghanistan!

She likes it there, one of the few stations where the local controller can call 'All aircraft Odiham sector maintain current position and altitude' when things go pear shaped.  :-)
