Don't know where that happens. When we moved into the new approach room at a large airfield we had had very little expereince of the hardware - quick shufty during breaks - so flow control was imposed. We put up with it for all ten minutes and then got the show on the road!
Good for you, but unfortunately doing things off the back of a fag packet isn't acceptable nowadays
I was involved in the move of LAC and LTC from WD to Swanwick and the move of SCoACC and MACC into the new Prestwick Centre. Fairly major flows on each time.
