Thank you Gatwick Director and Tower
Many, many thanks to all the people operating the Gatwick zone at 1810Z-ish tonight for clearing me through the zone enroute to Redhill. My apologies for being on the wrong half of the orbit to see the first gap appear - hope that didn't cause you a problem.
Many thanks once again,
MD.
P.S. I think ATC at Redhill almost forgave me for asking for a late opening when they were able to say "...Gatwick have passed your details" (-:
P.P.S. According to the GPS "breadcrumbs" I got to fly right over my house too - sadly I was too busy looking for Redhill from a funny direction to spot it at the time!
