Kpax - You have no idea, Brit ATC in the RAAF...uuhhhh NO.....OK I conceed they have one exchange Officer at the School of ATC in Sale, but that is so he or she can go back to UK with some 'spiffing" ideas on on how to control aeroplanes (please note the spelling of aeroplanes there!). And unfortunately, as for the rest of your post, I will let the GD branch or aviators sort you out on that one.
