Mad Jock,
Are you Instrument or IMC rated?
If not its illegal for you to accept a RAS.
errmmmm.....are you sure? You can fly IFR in Class G without those ratings as long as you remain VMC
From the UK AIP concerning Radar Advisory Service:
(a) The service will only be provided to flights under IFR irrespective of meteorological conditions;
(b) controllers will expect the pilot to accept vectors or level allocations which may require flight in IMC. Pilots not qualified to fly in IMC should accept a RAS only where compliance with ATC advice permits the flight to be continued in VMC;
