What? No D and D?
Having a few minutes to kill, I flicked through issue 05 of "Pulse" - the superb corporate communications journal of NATS. Wonderful publication - soft, strong and highly absorbent! Page 3 had a topless....... no, sorry, wrong one. Page 3 had an article covering the ditching of a Cessna303 in the North Sea and went on to congratulate, and rightly so, all the personnel on V watch for their swift actions. No mention of any activity from Distress and Diversion. Do D and D still do things like alert the Rescue Coordination Centre so that SAR can be scrambled or do NATS staff do that themselves? I understand that D and D is manned by RAF personnel - could that be why they didn't get a mention in a NATS publication?
