A pilot here.

I'm TK based and have the utmost respect for all the controllers. I would suggest that the person who claimed some of their controllers aren't up to the job should go there on a busy day and marvel at what they achieve. The major problems in the area are visiting crews who don't understand what they are doing and downright fools who fly through the approach without talking to either TK or Brize. I find it a tad frustrating having to go round due to a TCAS RA when established and finding that the other pilot is just ignoring where he is and simply can'y be bothered telling anyone what he is up to.

I have had far worse services at much bigger airports in the UK, a list of the poor to down right bloody incompetent would probably not be welcome here, but it is a subject heavily discussed by pilots in the places we meet.

How about controlled airspace as well. Then life would be a lot easier.

P.S. Fred; At least the uniform goes with your eyes!!
