Still do. Available to approved operators with prior arrangement. IFR surveillance radar approach, IFR self position, IFR visual approach or VFR, normally via Farnborough Approach Radar when open. Still occasionally big jet movements QLA-SEN via MiG Alley, OCK 2 point 4.
Also during mid-seventies UK ATC industrial action air transport movements would fly VFR in uncontrolled airspace and join airways with Jersey IFR. Luton flights would fly VFR via WOD at 2 point 4, over the IOW then climb to 190. Monarch and Redcoat Brits, Britannia 73s and the like.
