I'm sure NATS would provide the engineering support ... if the MoD paid for it in their contract
Ahhh, the Beloved Contract. Lots of talk but seems to have been overshadowed by the wavy lines. I understand that someone is going to do a roadshow sometimes soon.
Anyway, a source has told me that D&D (don't know whther A&FC will ever catch on even after LMARS/PC) did a wee survey for the Regulator a few months back. Allegedly, the amount of air-to-air "chat" transmissions on 121.5 far outweighed the practice pans.
Even better, a rather irate Germanic chap, thinking he was anonymous, started to let-off on 121.5 using some rather choice languague - I guess he doesn't realise how auto-traingulation works.
