The past month Luqa ATC has been doing a fantastic job handling much larger than usual Military traffic than they and their equipment were ever expected to work . Much of the time they are working understaffed/ combined frequencies.One voice in particular has really stood out and remained remarkably cool .
Info here from the Times of Malta.

I read an article about them not so long ago in some Eurocontrol magazine. For such a tiny country their FIR is just huuuuuuuuuuge.

Fantastic job indeed.
