How do I request a special flight number?

[freefallfun]

Hi,

The Lancashire based parachute centre where I skydive will be operating a fast climbing turbine aircraft (well it's fast for skydivers - 0'->15,000' in 12 minutes) later this year and wishes to apply for a special flight number with a view to requesting a higher operating altitude over our drop zone when ATC capacity and traffic levels allow.

Can anybody point me in the right direction to whom we should apply, the required notice period and the kind of details we need to provide etc.? Alternatively any web links to such info would be most appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,
