Thanks Bob that was just the sort of feedback I was looking for. I found it
extremely frustrating that having paid and trained for the IMC (I saw it as
a further development course that was going to keep me skilled and safe with
my flying) that the ATC units could not see anything other than a nuisance
to their Commercial operations.
I have feedback from a well respected and experienced trainer/examiner who
says that he does not do IMC training as "it's a real pain even in a normal
aircraft. Getting any sort of instrument approach is difficult".
The 'lack of accident' statistics speak for themselves - we must continue
to see the IMC used and trained to improve safety.
Thanks for the replies so far.

PS What do the Commercial I/R pilots think of the subject?
