vfrflyer said in part.....
OR IS IT JUST CRANFIELD THAT DO THAT?
As a VFR only happy flyer I avoid Cranfield [ usually enroute from east to west and vice versa] as they have in the past come up with goodies like..... "proceed direct to Junction 13 on the M1" and such rubbish.
Or get you orbiting for absolutely no reason whatsoever. I listen but avoid calling as I am usually well outside their zone and am travelling at no more than 90 kts.
