Adrian Thompson's Retirement from ATC.

[Fox Echo]

Adrian
I can remember first meeting with you & Margaret some years ago at a "fly-in" at the old airport site & also subsequently accepting an invitation from you back in 2003 to see ATC at work in the then recently opened new Tower - a memorable visit. Thank you very much for your input over the years. Enjoy your retirement!
John

May I wish you a long and happy retirement,thanks for all the info and photographs you have supplied over the years -- it will not be the same when "booking-out" now and not speaking to you over the phone.All the very best regards to You and Margaret.

Adrian, I'd just like to add my congratulations to you and Margaret upon your retirement. It's been a long time since I spoke with either of you to "book out", but your airside photographs have been a constant source of pleasure. I'd guess like all of us, aviation is in your blood, and that you'll never be far away from LJLA. Hope for both of you, that your days are long and healthy, and full of fun. Kindest regards. Jim Morrow.

Fellow enthusiasts,
Thanks to you all for your kind words and best wishes. I'll save them to the end of the month when I actually retire. I will no doubt be seeing some of you on the mound, as I will have the time to spend there.
Regards to you all,
Adrian & Margaret
