Yeah, but surely just for poor people.

Interesting. NATS have a NOTAM saying that UK controlled airspace is closed from 12:00 today. That'll be 12:00 Zulu, so one may have snuck out at 12:22 BST, but it would have been one of the last. Unless, of course, they're going VFR. (That's a joke, BTW, they're not). So, to say at 14:28 BST that flights *ARE* getting out was incorrect. -- Wicked Uncle Nigel - "He's hopeless, but he's honest" I've always been a man who's open to persuasion
