NATS to provide a London LARS!
The number of zone infringer's has increased to an unacceptable level, so Farnborough will be providing a 'blanket' London LARS service once they have found enough qualified staff...well so rumour has it?
Now, I wonder who is funding this adventure? It used to be the CAA that provided funds to designated units. This never quite covered the costs of its provision...allegedly?
An 'extra' Radar Information Service might be coming your way soon if you fly close to London? Then again, demand will probably outstrip supply!
So which units have we lost in recentish time that actually provided a LARS around London? Luton, Bedford, Stansted, Dunsfold and probably a few others?
