Just to add... twice in the last year, on a Traffic Service, I've had close encounters with other aircraft who were both also in receipt of a Farnborough service.

A PA28 at Guildford, which the UKAB decided was an Airprox category A and didn't have any nice things to say about Farnborough in their summary, and more recently a Dove, who I saw in good time so no big deal, but was about 200 metres away from me, same level and opposite direction and close enough that I was able to identify it as a Dove. Reported that as an MOR, failure of service, but surprisingly, no reply or follow up to the MOR.

I do not have any confidence in their radar services, particularly the West position.
