"Experience of working in a busy IFR/VFR mixed traffic workload in Class G airspace would be a distinct advantage."
Here's a question that's been bothering me for years: how in the he** can a controller handle "busy IFR/VFR traffic" in uncontrolled airspace? How does it work?

These Standards require Controlled Airspace (CTA & CTR) to be provided for IFR flights, something which Blackpool, Exeter and others in the UK do not have in order to protect IFR arriving/departing/holding traffic.

Owing to the fact that the UK does not comply with the ICAO Standards set out in Annex 11 at 2.11.3.1 and 2.11.5.1, and appears to not notify Differences from them!

When it first opened in 1965, EGNX operated a very busy IFR/VFR mix for about 8 years before they acquired a 'Special Rules Zone'. They had crossing R/Ws too, with the grass strip 01/19. It got very complicated at times, with lots of circuit traffic and transits nearby, via Lichfield and the 'CA' NDB, 4 miles to the east. Great respect to the ladies and gentlemen who did it.
