As an ex EGPH Atco from 20-30 years ago
YAAOOOWNNN
Its normally a daily occurrence but has to be taken seriously by ATC.
I'm sorry to say that the press in my day were totally inaccurate in any dealings (officially sanctioned) that I had with them,either to to with ATC or other interests I was involved with.
Nuff said
However I do commend ajamieson for being open and seeking the truth in his investigations. I hope he uses the information he gleans from this site in a responsible manner.
