Actually does anyone think the Spanish controllers would recognise PAN??
Actually yes. I had to declare a 'PAN' about a month ago en-route LIS-LHR and diverted SCQ with a medical problem to a pax.

The handling by Madrid Control was excellent and we landed about 15 minutes later from FL360. Sadly the young boy died 4 days later. The ambulance arrived about 5 minutes after chox - I doubt LHR and LAS would better that.
