Truly the demise of RAAF ATC was the thinking that everyone in the category had to be tactically focused. They would have been better off having a small cadre of Tactical ATC (based out of TN and Willy); and the rest should have been defence civilians/AsA employees.
I pity the coalface guys and gals still there (RAAF) as it seems that little has changed.
Scran, surely your no still stomping aroung the halls @ Russell!? Wasn't there also the WGCDR position @ Training Command back in the early 90's?
