If anyone has access to the incidents publication from last summers incidents may I draw the attention to the incident on sector 12 where the mil were supposed to be within one mile of each other in a formation but because they lost visual contact with each other they were actually miles apart with only one squawking and the other a primary only return.
Needless to say it was the primary only track which got very close to a civilian aircraft which wouldn't get a TCAS as it was not squawking so therefore no mode c.
I think it says they were Greek.
Thats why we would rater not speak to formation flights.
