<<Any idea why more airfields aren't VDF equipped in the UK?>>
Cost?
But HD, we have it in, as far as I can ascertain every airfield in France and Spain which has a controller on it for at least part of the time. I resist to believe that the reason for not having VDF would be purely financial

From my very, very limited experience flying in the UK (not that I have any experience worth mentioning overall), why do I get the impression that ATC in the UK seem to be seriously understaffed, and probably underequipped as well?

What is CAT?
In the context above, Commercial Air Traffic.
