I can report (as long as you keep it to yourselves) that it looks very much like EFPS will become operational in the very near future. All those involved seem very confident that they can pull it off (even some of the ATCO's !!) No doubt it will take some getting used to and we will get caught out now and again but progress marches on with or without us............wish us luck. ps. there is a back up system involving some hi tech system involving long narrow strips made from a reconstituted wood product, There is a machine which imparts the flight information onto these strips and they can then be placed in front of the controller organised in vertical metal racks...it will never catch on and lets hope we dont have to go back to it too often........
