ORAC....

So, come on tell us, what's your experience and knowledge of UK airspace and Rules of the Air?


Hmmm. Joined the RAF as an air defence controller in 1975 and served in air defence for the next 25 years. Qualified in all AD roles from IDRO to MC. Served several tours as an FA and MC intercepting Russian aircraft on a day to day basis. As an MC ran the air defences of the UK on a routine daily basis. My log book shows several hundred QRA intercepts of Bears. Left in 1999 after tours in SOC UK and the UKCAOC.

Could I ask your equivalent experience?
