Nope he is Scottish information and an AreaFISO.
Although I don't agree with his current comment about calling them up to get the notams. Notams Briefing is a preflight requirement.
Scottish information does exactly what it says on the tin. Be you at FL's needing wx actuals up north or a spam can enjoying life. They are nearly always a happy voice on the RT. They put student pilots at ease, as you see here encourage pilots to use the service. And I think pretty much all GA pilots use scottish info as a matter of course and I have never really heard a moan about the service in its area.
And to be honest its not unusal in the scottish FIR to have helpful ATCO's in my experence. Some times they get thier backsides bitten by being to helpfull and we end up with the thankfully rare situation that occur when biggles landed in a tree in Dundee.
Another thing that needs done to the notams is all the ones that have been active over a year get shot of and documented in AIS.
For example the one about the lack of high intensity lighting on Mount Eagle Mast has been active for longer than I have been flying.
Can we not rename you to Basic Information Service Traffic Officer then you can be a BISTO area? FIS
