I need a quiet room to go and sit down in, I have to agree with Standard Noise.

We have yet again had microlights flying right up to the very edge of our zone without talking to us in areas we descend aircraft outside of CAS into our airport, we get a very faint paint on the radar screen and sometimes no paint at all. let us know you are there and it makes life less interesting for us for which we are grateful.

I have to say in the last few weeks we have had local Hot Air Balloons calling us up and letting us know they are there for which they are always thanked. When our two airports get surrounded with much more CAS it will be less critical for us but certainly for the time being we will still be providing a LARS service so why not use it.
