Just a reminder that from the 15-19th June 2004 the zones become PPR during Royal Ascot.
The areas to note where their will be lots of aircraft outside controlled airspace not working radar are the BAGSHOT and MANOR freelanes to the south west and around COOKHAM to the North West. Obviously, the normal areas outside the zones will get busy as Battersea becomes full, such as Alexander Palace/abeam Brent/Banstead/Oxshott/Crystal Palace etc as helis hold awaiting onward clearance.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE avoid asking for BUR-ASCOT transits!! We hand over some airspace to Ascot Tower (EGLT!!!) so cannot approve them.
Have a quick look even if not involved in flying helis into Royal Ascot - there are some good maps here:

CAN THIS BE MADE A STICKY?
