Fairly busy Gatwick Clubhouse.

Good Morning from Gatwick, 1st class breakfast with a refreshing pot of tea.
Too early for a Redhead as I'm still recovering from spending all of yesterday with old comrades at the Army v Navy rugby at Twickenham, the older we get the longer it takes to recover from all day drinking sessions.
G-VROY has just come on stand so we should hopefully be away on time on the VS065.
Trip report hopefully at some point in the near future.

Hope you have a great time in the wonderful oasis that is Gatwick Clubhouse and a fantastic flight to Montego Bay !

Wish I was there this morning, a glass of champagne would go down very nice :)

Have a great flight - even a busy LGW CH is a delightful place to be.

The LGW CH will always be my favourite.

Despite all of the problems at LGW yesterday, the CH - whilst very busy, was an oasis of calm and the staff there continued to provide a personalised exceptional service.

Have a great flight!

Ubique is part of the motto for the Royal Artillery meaning "Everywhere" again have a great trip to Jamacia :-D

Just a quick update, as always a fantastic morning in the clubhouse followed by an exceptional flight with an exceptional crew.
I've had some great cabin crew to heap praise on over the years but the crew in upper yesterday were the best it's ever been my pleasure to share a flight with.
Oh and the steak was very nice........

Thank you for that, I've never heard that before, I may quote it at Reunions, however being a former member of the Regiment that are (and always will be) "right of the line when on parade with the guns" my former comrades may take exception to the term "Orse".
