The Chiltern model addresses the flight following issue by requiring the forces with the operating bases (Beds and TVP) to take responsibility. Beds allocate the radio operator for geographical area that covers the base to do it. Seems to work on the rare occasions its needed (most recently when during a running refuel the crew overlooked to call the end of the landing time out, the operator was on it in less than a minute and Oscar 1 in just over the minute, this was during a fairly busy time in the room).
