Intresting rumour on Inverness.

The only flaw is there is no radar there or anywhere near which would provide coverage to give a decent service !!

NATS radars are lucky to see below about FL60 and certainly an even higher limit for primary cover. Not particularly of any use vectoring aircraft on to the new ILS or sequencing arrivals and departures.

RAF radars at Kinloss and Lossie could in theory be piped in, but at what cost ? And again, would the low level coverage be any good for an Approach service ??
