You are forgiven, Bob!

Sorry chaps, I really dropped the ball with this one. Trusted a source who I thought was at the fence feeding me the serials on arrival when they were just assuming them from their Mode-S codes.

More care will be taken next time!

[slogen51]

No apologies required.

You gave the destination as Northolt, that's what matters so a big thanks from me.
