Really!? A Farnborough East (or west?) controller will be more expensive to handle a dozen IFR flights than having the tower manned by at least two equally licensed controllers and their helpers?
As I said in an earlier post - whatever fee is levied (however outrageous), should go to the people offering the service, in this case Farnborough LARS east (or west?).
