Slightly off topic, but can any ATCOs out there explain why there is such a large chunk of (or for that matter, any) Class A for the Channel Islands and right down to the ground (well, sea)? It's not like it's got the traffic of LHR and so required for safety purposes
I don't particularly object to it, as the SVFR minima for IMC rated pilots isn't that high and generally won't prevent GA flights getting in - but I can't understand the purpose of it.
