LINTON MATZ
I have been routing twice up through the Linton/Topcliffe/Leeming MATZ, heading south to north, and prior to the Linton MATZ, have requested MATZ transit, routing directly through all three. This has been granted by Linton. However, the first time I did this I was asked by Leeming to leave their MATZ, routing north east, to make way for an incoming aircraft, and he quickly asked that I go to 7000 squak, and dumped me in the Durham zone.
Yesterday, same thing, but me wise for it, this time though he delayed passing me to Topcliffe/Leeming, and when I queried if I had onward clearance, he again quickly pushed me out, leaving me orbiting prior to entering the Topcliffe MATZ. I eventually got the through transit, but a lot of buggering about.
North - South, no probs, Leeming transit you through. Are they to busy at Linton, or best avoided VFR in future?
Any thoughts?
