When flying an R22 back to Wolverhampton from Paris a couple of months back, very close to Luton, who didn't sound that busy, they told us FIS was not available, and to freecall London Information. I think we said we would, and maintained a listening watch on Luton anyway, if I'm remembering correctly. It seemed to make sense, as we were only just outside their zone. I gather via the grapevine that this is fairly standard practice for them now. It is Luton this thread is referring to, isn't it?
