I completely agree with you. High performance commercial,private or military, a/c have no business being in Class G airspace.
ATC must accept & admit that it cannot perform the service to which it is committed, & withdraw it; & NATS / CAA must withdraw the fiction which is perpetrated about the ATSOCAS requirement to perform a radar service which can never be totally safe or effective, or properly provided.
The choice is to withdraw Class G & have CAS everywhere; or, to leave it as Class G for the use of certain classes of air traffic only. Anything else is a fudge & is not sustainable.
