It's not just in the air. If more than two or three aircraft are on the ground at once it seems to overload things there as well. Our winter schedules are out at the end of October so that may help. I seem to recall an argument for class D airspace around Inverness which is just fine as an airline pilot however as a GA pilot I would have to say we have enough of that already. Radar would be good though.
Can the RAF vector onto civvy ILSs? I had an idea that couldn't be done since they might withdraw the service at any time (quite rightly) if their own traffic needed it. The same thing happens at Dundee, Leuchars will provide a RAS but not vectors. No delays at Dundee though, not enough traffic.
