I recently released
a video of RT excerpts drawn from a flight from Shoreham to Cambridge. The video was one of my most popular, but also drew some criticism
on the main forum..
So here is a more conventional take on the same flight - a beautiful run in the setting sun on a cold November afternoon.

The Luton infringement on the radio at seven and a half ish minutes in: you can almost hear the poor chap's stomach sinking as he responds to the call

My stomach sank for him... if you know what I mean. It was such a sad series of calls.

Yes. Presumably the above was all that was said? No invitation to make a phone call once on the ground?

We left the frequency before he did, so if any such invitation occurred, it wasn't in our earshot.

Beautiful time of day to be flying.
Very nervous not actually seeing your 3 greens.

Yes, not the greatest edit point! An extra second would have shown the greens light up and saved your nerves!

Advice when I was last working was to avoid telephone numbers etc over r/t due potential distraction and increasing angst etc.
If they are on frequency and Luton knows their destination, then the destination would be contacted to ask the pilot to telephone TC after they'd landed.
