ATC & FC
Wyler,
Glad you enjoyed the joint visit to Canada - so did I!!!!!
I trust that in your initial reply you do not wish to give the impression that the statement "If you want a posting close to Mum and Dad - be an ATCO" applies to the all the ATCOs in the RAF, as the personnel that currently support operations in the Falkland Islands, Basrah, Balad, Al Udeid, Seeb, Muharrah, Kabul, Sarajevo and Banja Luka may beg to differ. A controller has also been deployed to Kandahar in support of the Harrier Detachment and further overseas delpoyments are already being planned to that region. In addition, an Area Radar team, working as an embedded element of 1 Air Control Centre, is also under development.
The ATC branch certainly offers a wider choice of postings and a better option for eventual civilian employment, but these days we also deploy a bit as well!!
