RAF Prestwick - End of an era...
Bon-voyage to all the guys'n'gals in light blue, (plus the occasional 'special guest' in dark blue), of the Scottish Air Traffic Control Centre (Military), with whom us civvy types have had the honour of sharing a billet for a very long time.
The place doesn't feel the same without you.
On behalf of the all the bods (left) at PC, good luck in your new home.

As an ex-RAF geriatric who served at Eastern, Clutch, Moray, LATCC (Mil) and my last Area tour at Atlantic House, I fondly remember the fantastic co-operation constantly displayed between ourselves and our civilian colleagues at ScATCC, great times with with great people.
Continued fortunes to those who remain at Prestwick, and good luck to those who have relocated South.

Hello.
I am a researcher assisting Dr David Clarke of Sheffield Hallam University.
We are investigating the alleged sighting of an unusual, diamond-shaped aircraft and an unidentified Harrier jet near Calvine, Scotland, in August 1990.
If you are unfamiliar with this incident, more information is available here: https://drdavidclarke.co.uk/secret-f...o-photographs/
We understand from a former RAF Scotland source that checks were carried out in 1990 to identify the Harrier with ScATCC (Mil) Prestwick radar which covered the Calvine area.
If anyone who served at ScATCC in 1990 can hence help us shed any light on this matter, we would be very grateful to hear from you.
Thank you.
