Stillin 1, my sources are reliable as they work at the airport, and I cannot divulge my sources. If you want clarification of the "emergeny" VCR equipment specifications then contact the CAA SRG dept. and ask them. Another good source of information would be for you to get to know one of the LBA ATCO's or ATC Engineers. Regarding the training of the ATCO's in the south side portacabin then ask SRG. Regarding the refit of the new desk, I was told mid march. However there is further doubt that it will be completed then. This project has been going on for many years, originally started by a gentleman who resigned and there has been 2 further ATC managers since then who have not been able to complete the project, not because it was their fault but due to higher management descisions. Did you know that the airport management stopped the staff from reading this forum due to embarrassment.
