Obviously some very professional ATCOs up North. I can't remember the last time I scanned Field 18 to such depth.

However, with that in mind, it does NOT prevent your average humble ATCO from taking the view that they do not feel comfortable controlling US arms supply flights making pit-stops at UK Civil/USAF/RAF aerodromes with weapons which the IDF have a nasty habit of dropping on unarmed civilians whilst supposedly attempting to take out the 'bad guys'.
rab-k, your average miltary ATCO may not bat an eyelid. Don't tar everyone with the same brush.
