Is the missing ATCO Craig Fulton?? - if not it looks VERY like him.

I think he works for H.I.A.L. (not sure which unit), or is that where he's
missing from?

You'd think it has to be a wind up but worryingly there is an individual who
looks like this currently controlling in the UK.

The scary thing is we have a Cabin Crew member like this as well, perhaps Shrek is really an Air Traffic Controller and serves tea and coffee in his spare time

The Missing ATCO

Well Spitoon, I'm not sure what this is about either but if the pictured bloke is controlling somewhere in the UK, I think we all ought to be worried.

Who is Craig Fulton?

Does anyone know anybody who works or used to work for HIAL? It may be worth following up. That guy looks like a mentalist. He certainly ought to have his headset removed, but I wouldn't be keen to go too near his expansive cranium having read the Missing ATCO details. I want to know where he goes for his medical.

Thanks for all the posts and emails. Your help in tracing the Missing ATCO is greatly appreciated.

We have traced the Missing ATCO as far as Wyton where we understand he spent a couple of days. Any clues as to why his time there was so brief?

Sadly, we have no further leads to follow beyond the short spell at Wyton, but we remain hopeful that there are others in the forum who might be able to provide some vital piece of information that would enable us to eventually solve the mystery of the Missing ATCO and his whereabouts.

On a more positive note, thanks to your responses we have been able to source some more images of the Missing ATCO in various guises. Halloween has no doubt given him the perfect opportunity to further conceal his identity. We hope the new photographic material will be of much help in our quest.

Check Missing ATCO details for the latest information.

Images can also be viewed at Missing ATCO images

Thanks again to all who have helped.

missing atco.

what has Wyton done to atco's to deserve this, spent about eight years there when it was a proper flying station, lovely place and in it's dotage it does not need this sort of humiliation, keep this man away.
