Thank you TDM . I was about there from 1978 onwards. The Oceanic controllers were of course ATCO's (HD) but the CDO's were as I described.
Is it possible that back in KCockaynes day the CDO may have been former RAF personnel ? I know that we used to have ex Flight Sergeant ATCO's who ended their civvy career as ATCA's.
Willit Run...so sorry for hijacking your thread. I am sure someone current will come along once the "lantern has stopped swinging".
