This has been said before, so sorry if I step on anyones toes.
Althought the primary radar signal is being derived from Waddington, it is utilising a new gismo, (devleoped by Flight refuelling I think), that is CAA approved, and allows primary and SSR radar coverage down to 150ft.
This will give nearly as good as coverage as you would get from having your own radar head on the airfield for a lot less expense.
It's just a question of deciding if the blip not equipped with SSR crossing the centreline 2miles and 1 ft, , from the airport may, or may not, be a real aeroplane - a judgement call that we all have to do on a day to day basis.
