Sadly it'll still be better than the stuff we have to use at Scottish at the minute (costs too much to use anything from the 1980s onwards you see - especially when we are getting a nice shiny new building and equipment therein......oops).
Still at least we'll all feel valued and recognised when we get our hand-me-downs sent up in an aid parcel.
And what are the plans for the future? Or are we going to be left with the TC/MACC kit??
Uuummm, its the wiggly amp bit behind the glass which will remain the same in PC. For the ATC user you'll have the new workstations which have large flat screens for the radar and smaller flat ones for auxiliary information. New voice comms interface, new support information systems etc. For ATC it'll Essentially be all new, you can see a prototype of the workstation with all its displays,strip printer etc at Prestwick. Not sure why people think that old equipment from previous units would be re-used.
