In which case, you should NOT have entered controlled airspace. If you are unsure of your clearance - you MUST confirm it. If the LACC frequency was too busy then you should have remained clear and gone back to the Brize Frequency for confirmation.

There are too many controlled airspace infringements where pilots have been expecting clearance to join, not got it but joined anyway. Looking at the figures from last year, there were 41 instances. Please, please do not accept an ambiguous clearance. It could end in disaster.
