And there's no "chewed off" here?
We are here for you guys, not the other way around. It's all about working together to get a safe and effective flow of traffic, and make room for all, even the odd VFR pilot jumping around the countryside for fun (me too)
The Falcon was receiving TS. Was a 'contract' agreed to provide TS? If it was a foreign pilot, did he even know what TS is?
At Farnborough in such a situation, we would offer a temporary upgrade to DS and I hope most other controllers would do so under 'duty of care'.
