Despite what Saab says about me (I wish I'd kept my mouth shut at that pub...
) I find Solent helpful. Since my QXC i've only been refused a transit when the frequency was bursting with commercial traffic, which seems reasonable to me. Transiting along the Solent under their zone they always seem willing to give traffic information etc. I guess they're fairly keen to hand you off to Bournemouth, but no worries there
