Thanks mate.
I only provided radar based services in Class G and its predecessor for a total of 35 years, 34 of those being at Farnborough, traffic handled ranging from microlights up to Tornados amd Lightnings but the CAA didn't
seem to want to know when I suggested we use ICAO procedures at a 'workshop' at Kingsway during the review of 2007/8 resulting in the present procedures which commenced in 2009, just after I retired.
In other fields, eg millibars to hectopascals, the CAA seemed only too keen to comply.
