Glasgow is still Mode A and C ... mode S will arrive at some point. But the guys didn't know when, thats the last I heard.

Plus, I am no expert, but I thought mode S was just extra information ... so mode A and C secondary radars will still only get the Mode A and C info, not the extra stuff being broadcast from the aircraft transponder.

Not sure If I'm right, but that was my understanding of it.
