Puntosaurus my dear chap, you must be born unlucky......

Heading north on the way from a south coast airfield a couple of nights ago to a private helipad I got RIS in Class G airspace from Farnborough, Brize, Coventry, East Midlands and DoncaSheFinningley.

Last night on the way from Battersea it was Northolt, Luton, East Mids with a couple of short gaps for a FIS from Cranfield and Sywell as it was more relevant to speak to them directly.

Nothing unusual about this, I've never filed a written flight plan for this type of flight in UK and I've been doing this for some long time now. How do you think most heli folk operate at night?
