The BigTour, 24 in 2024.
On the 14th April 2024, a team of 4 ATCOs: Wayne Clarke, Richard Fell, Shaun Bellairs-Wray and Harvey McVicar will go on a little motorcycle ride; from Aberdeen Airport to Gibraltar Airport, visiting every Nats/Nats Solutions Operational ATC Unit en-route.
The team are raising funds to support Prostate Cancer UK. One of our colleagues at Aberdeen Airport passed away from this terrible disease. We want to raise awareness across Nats and our families and friends. If we can get even one man to get checked, we will have been successful.
The trip is massive. The approximate distance (on the road) is 3000 miles. There are 4 ferries involved. As experienced riders, we are under no illusions as to the magnitude of the challenge. Over a 16 day period we will visit,
Aberdeen Airport
Glasgow Airport
Prestwick Centre
Belfast City Airport
Belfast International Airport
RAF Woodvale
Manchester Airport
RAF Barkston Heath
RAF Wattisham
Stansted Airport
Luton Airport
Heathrow Airport
Gatwick Airport
London City Airport
Farnborough Airport
Cardiff Airport
RAF St Athan
Aberporth Range
Bristol Airport
RAF Netheravon
Middle Wallop
Southampton Airport
Swanwick Centre (including Western Radar)
RAF Gibraltar.
We plan to spend at least an hour at each unit to meet staff, see how they operate and hopefully raise donations.
