I've known more than one bizjet in the hold at OCK getting short of fuel and rather than declare an emergency, they've asked to divert to Farnborough.
I think I can also recall one doing it from BNN; he didn't have any 'plates' for Farnborough and had never visited before so as I took him downwind I pointed out the airfield to him and briefed him on the runway length and ILS frequency.
