Giving "no reason" was the way I meant it in reference to the PFL's from the over head.
We have the case that controllers want to speak to aircraft to allow certain functions to either be done or to be done easier.
Then you have pilots that are quite legally entitled not to speak to you.
You can scream airmanship and safety as much as you like, if the pilot has a bad experence with what they deem over controlling or poor service they won't speak to you. Most PPL's will not phone what they see as part of the big brother system. Most don't know that the military style of dealing with issues is not deemed to be rude in the military enviroment. When it does to huggy fluffy civi's.
Anyway its very noticable the reduction of mil airfields and of training in the last ten years and it is also noticable that the old boys/girls are leaving and the standard of RAF controlling is unfortuanetly suffering
