One does have to wonder WTF is going on these days...

Just tonight the lovely Geraldine announced another 'close encounter' of the military aircraft kind on the local TV news; details are at http://www.airproxboard.org.uk/uploa...%202017029.pdf

The Brize Norton Director vectored the A400(B) into conflict with A400(A).

Contributory:

1. Lack of a formal handover resulted in subsequent assumptions and confusion.

2. The Approach controller’s workload was excessive.

Recommendation: HQ Air Command reviews ATC tasking with regard to current manning at Brize Norton.
