Lakenheath Zone

Further to Lowtimer's pertinent comments:

my strip is sufficiently close to the eastern boundary of Lakenheath that any trips to the west or s west generally means that I enter their MATZ.

Given their propensity for responding to any initial call, with,

"Golf Bravo Kilo Xray Xray, squawk 4312 and IDENT"

I generally make it implicit in my initial call that I do not carry a parrot in either of my aircraft:-

Lakenheath, G-STIK - negative transponder, Good morning"

Avoidance of lakenheath and Mildenhall ATZ's is almost mandatory, they don't seem to care too much these days about Honington.

Weaving one's way VFR betwen Lakenheath ATZ and D208 is really quite easy if one follows appropriate ground features; the A11, the Thetford chimney and the rail line/river north of the zone.


They are generally closed after 1700hrs on weekends unless there is something BIG on.
