I am sure JR will have an answer, but often in a terminal area the surrounding OCTA area is handled by one ATC, and in BN at time the old BN RAD, now BN CEN is also handling BN APP, so any OCTA VFR is dealt with on a "when available" service level.
Fortunately a busy BN CEN radar guy found the time to offer me (IFR and OCTA) this service as I may well have hit a VFR in IM recently.
I need to track that guy down and buy him a beer!
