The proposed new airspace, which has a base level of approximately 8,000 ft, is bounded between Warminster, Andover, Stockbridge and Shaftesbury and is bordered by the existing Salisbury Plain Danger Areas.

Shouldn't affect the majority of PPL's on here. However, I note they also plan to extend the upper level of D126 from 2500' to 9000'. That could be a pain - I would imagine you're not going to get a DACS clearance with UAV's in the vicinity :rolleyes:

I wonder, is it really necessary ...

... or is it the thin end of a wedge ... ?
