Bombing Missions from the UK
I may be straying into sensitive areas so might not get an answer which I'll understand, but when we’ve been to war in recent years (bombing Bosnia for example or when the US bombed Libya from Upper Heyford) when the bombers leave Britain on a mission, who provides ATC for the aircraft when they are in controlled airspace ? What happens when they fly over a country which may not support the war we’re in and what happens out over the Atlantic etc (like when the Vulcans re-deployed to Ascension for Black Buck) or are other countries obliged to provide a radar service.
