Independant ATC units
I'm sure this has been asked before but i'm trying to get a list of the non NATS towers around the UK that have radar capability (not interested in the ADC/ADI only ones).
So far the list I can think of is this: · Glasgow Prestwick · Inverness, Wick, Stornoway etc. (HIAL Group) · Newcastle · Durham Tees Valley, Liverpool, Doncaster (Peel aviation) · Leeds Bradford · Manchester, Humberside, East Midlands, Bournemouth (MAG Group) · Coventry · Hawarden Chester · Oxford Kidlington · London Southend · Norwich · Newquay Am I missing any? :confused: |
Cambridge, Exeter and Manston come to mind although a trawl through one of the flight guides or the AIP looking for units with dedicated radar frequencies might prove useful.
BTW Oxford doesn't have a radar yet although the project is well advanced. |
Blackpool, Warton, Ronaldsway.
Jersey, Guernsey. Are you interested in military airfields too? |
Isn't Manchester NATS? Pretty sure it is
|
Sir Herbert,
spot on. MAG own the airport, ATC courtesy of NATS, (NSL or something similar). |
The only HIAL airfield which has approach radar is Inverness ( some of the time) :ok:
AyrTC |
Belfast City and Southend.
|
Gloucester, Filton (though not for much longer)
NS |
Southend South or Sheppey Island North. Hasn't been built by Boris yet, but no guarantees that it'll be run by gnats. :E
|
ATC Lasham.
|
Do not forget Plymouth even if it is only open for another 7 weeks.:uhoh:
I am informed the oldest operational UK ATCO (not AFISO or air ground) retired there last week aged 73.:D |

Anyone know if Ted Winstone is still operational? He must have been in his 70s when he was at Isles of Scilly.
|
I last saw Ted in 1994 when we controlled together at Netheravon. I then left the UK, but heard on the grapevine he had been very ill soon after.
|
Now THAT, really, is sad...
|
Thank you all!
most useful and frankly less time than scanning the BINA page by page!! Zooker...No need for mil airfields thanks, have more than enough knowledge on that front!!;) |
Don't think Scatsta has been mentioned yet.I think they do SRAs.
|
261_p, if you're looking so you have an idea of where you can be employed as a civvy with an APS rating then don't bother counting gloucester or Scatsta as they only provide SRAs with their radar...just a thought...
