This is one of the most 'contructive' threads dealing with the RAAF ATCs 'problems' I've seen. A lot of good stuff looking at the 'why' and 'how' as opposed to the 'what' [happened the last time I was stuffed around].
Great post C-change. Question...why can't Airservices staff those bases even if they stay military assets? The navaids are Airservices maintained so why not the voices on the radio?
As an example RAF Gibraltar is run by NATS ATC (Britain's ASA equiv). Numerous RAF bases in Britain have civvy controllers and Skyguide staffs the Swiss bases.
