Bletchleytugie hi;
yeah, it was a super day for aviating, but we GA don't always appreciate the updrafts so much.
I use Notamcheck service, which both plots them and shows original text. Gave up on AIS long ago.
I'll see if I can verify it but why would it be wrong?
The 314sq mile crack was based on the notamed 10 ntmile radius based on Shepton Mallet.
(I should have said in my original post "sitting between controlled airspace of Yeovilton & Bristol.")
And once you've seen the CAA video of a skydiver just FEET away from a passing Chippie, you get nervous....

Eventually found the original on the AIS site
( what cr*p that site is. Even with broadband I gave up waiting for pages to load twice, and it\'s murder to navigate around to be sure that you have got all info you need to see. Do what I do and use Notamcheck)
