Many years ago I was involved with a fellow Atco in an airprox about 30 miles south of Aberdeen. A SH36 had called up,and I as the approach controller took the call.The radar controller was busy co-ordinating departures.I saw ONE primary blip pop up one mile ahead of this Short,no SSR.I gave traffic,as no avoiding action was possible.The primary blip was a Jaguar that had pulled out of lowlevel,went straight in front of this SH360,and then did an aerobatic manoeuvre over the top of it.Scared the C
p out of me.
I have also had situations where the first thing I have said to an aircraft is avoiding action.So Eastern and others carry on.That SH360 was very lucky.You may not be.
Single Spey,
Are you calling Aberdeen ATC unprofessional? Oh how daring.Hey if you have any issues put it in writing to management.The Class G operators get way more than they should get.I can't even be bothered to rise to the bait.
