Duane. Gatwick is class D. Ballina is class G and somehow airline jets cope there.
Controllers can operate D like C if they want to separate VFR from IFR .
Some controllers like the fact that D helps reduce rediculous situations like holding VFR planes 12 miles out when safety does not require this.
