Unhappy No SMR at Luton

Rumour has it that the surface movement radar at Luton is u/s and cannot be repaired. I understand that this piece of kit is vital in thick fog so that the controllers know just where the aircraft are on the ground.. .. .I has also been rumoured that whilst it is out of service the movement rate per hour in total will drop to less than 12 during very dense fog, to avaid "Another Milan".. .. .Is this true?. . . . <small>[ 27 March 2002, 19:46: Message edited by: Buster the Bear ]</small>
