I see Prestwick went out to tender at the beginning of this year to buy a Mode S radar, so eventually I suppose FBW will maybe even hang up his ruler and string....
Prestwick Airport has nothing to do what so ever with where I am based at the Scottish Area Control Centre whom are part of NATS....check out the following link if you want more info and watch the "Introduction to NATS video"..........as for Scottish Information operating on 119.875 this is a NON RADAR Service....if you speak to Scottish Information on 127.275 this sector does use radar and at times traffic and height permitting you may be offered a radar service.In the mean time I will continue to use my ruler, piece of string and 1:500:000 aeronautical chart...
