South African ATC on Scottish Frequency?

Recently flew to Belfast and the scottish highlands and both times spoke to a south african controller. Interesting to hear a different accent, also friendly and accomodating, (direct routeing and wx info offered without asking). Anybody else heard this voice?

Amazing that sort of range on VHF isn't it? Must be atmospherics!

Stacks of S-African ATC all over the world. Perhaps the one you are refering to was contract throught SERCO. Good too see fellow countrymen making a difference.

Yes there is one South African at Scottish and he has just recently validated on the sectors that cover Belfast in/out and Inverness and the Western Isles.
