No that wasn't what I was getting at.
ATC advised portable lighting was being deployed, then some minutes later advised, "whoops we don't have any"
In the mean time a drum of two of fuel have dissapeared.
I expect a response something like "thats DIA's responsibility, they told us they had some", which they may have.
Point being I would have thought ATC should be very aware of the facilities available to an aircraft, and I mean before time, not in the heat of the moment.
I think its time for the buck passing to continue
