Chris Kebab,
The guy in question initially trained on Tower and did not make it on Approach Radar before LHR 'split' in '93 with the radar function moving to West Drayton ( Now Swanwick ). We did have another former FC at LHR who did validate on radar, he eventually left to join BMI as a first officer. Last I heard he was a skipper, not sure if he went with lots of others to BA.
I know where you were going with your 'Hmmmm' comment - aren't FCs good at putting aircraft together and not keeping them apart! I don't know if any ex-FCs ended up at London Centre; I'll have to ask No2 son and D-i-L who work there!

I had a ride in a T-bird Jag' with No1 son - hated every minute of it! Not the thing for an ex-Herc' nav who had never wanted to be a driver!
