I didn't enter the Brize CTR. I specifically waited until I had passed the edge of the zone before descending from FL50, to save him coordination with Brize Zone.
So at WCO change to Luton and get either their QNH or London RPS. Its not really an awareness problem why should a BZN controller worry about your altitude on crossing the Luton CTZ?
Why? Because we're all interested in flight safety and avoiding airspace busts.
Don't get me wrong -- I asked just once for the Brize QNH: I certainly could have been more assertive in asking for a real QNH. And I made contact with Luton in good time. But I was specifically aware of the issue on this, a fairly quiet day with not much else to worry about. No hazard in this case, but I wanted to raise awareness of the issue.
