Flew around inside the Gatwick zone on Friday. Simple matter of once airborne from Redhill; freecall Gatwick Director, ask nicely for a fly by Gatwick which was approved and I got a squawk. Turned over to the tower for the fly by at 1500 QNH, After a while, over Horsham, got handed back to Director. Asked them if they wanted me to continue in or out of the zone, was told if I stayed in I'd be under radar control, if I went out, I be talking to Farnborough. Stayed in at 2000 ft round past Handcross and Forest Row until back to Bough Beech at 1400 and did a normal Godstone arrival at Redhill.

Very pleasant mornings work and mostly in airspace normally denied to me.
