If you're bored with 'The Simpsons', 'Rondo alla Turca' or 'the Nokia tune' on your mobile phone, you can now choose from a growing library of 10-15 second radio-call ringtones provided by www.bristol-airfield.co.uk.
Use the 'Message Alerts' link on the sidebar to locate the ringtones library.
This 'aircraft enthusiast' site is still very much under development and is in the process of being moved to a new server which will accommodate the growing number of photos, sound clips and video clips.
There is also a large library of English-language ATC radio conversations available from the 'Sound Clips Library' link though these are still in the process of being transferred from the old web space.
These will be of particular interest to our French colleagues who wish to polish-up their English-language radio skills before it becomes compulsory to do so.
Readers can sign-up for a newsletter which will advise on updates to this site.
A useful addition would be "Mayday! Mayday!", quite appropriate for a mobile phone.
Those of a certain age will recall "May Day? What's he talking about ? That was weeks ago, it's nearly June!".
