Yes. Because there were so few ATCO 4s (certainly on B Watch), there were no Sector 8s (or very few of them). I was an ATCA 2 at the time & felt very sorry for them, working a night duty every 4 day cycle; whilst the rest of us enjoyed Sector 8s regularly ! But, as you say, they were only working their rostered hours. I remember the great anticipation that the ATCO 4s had for the , anticipated, arrival of a whole Cadet Course of new 4s - only for their hopes to be dashed when they resigned !
