By AGCS 'Radio Licence' I am talking about the Wireless Telegraphy Act licence required for the radio from which to provide the AGCS. Go on, then, T, you describe it it a better way. How about 'Wireless Licence'? (I think they were about seven shillings and six pence...). Our 'Wireless Telegraphy Act licence required for the radio from which to provide the AGCS' comes with an Article 205 Approval which states:
Air Ground Communications services and services provided by a Clearance Delivery Officer are not Air Traffic Services, but may only be provided by a person holding a Radio Operator's certificate of competence (CA1308) issued by the Civil Aviation Authority and authorised by the Wireless Telegraphy Act licence holder.
Anyway, you know all that because you are an A/G examiner...in Surrey...so should know how to spell 'licences'...
