There are no approach radar controllers in HIAL at the moment with the exception of Inverness. The plan was to bring Sumburgh radar in house (currently contracted to Nats in Aberdeen) and operate it from Inverness. All the other approach services as far as I know are procedural and co-located in the towers.
Are you saying that they're planning to turn them all into approach radar units?
