If the airship is following H4, then we can use right side separation, or geographical separation, using the River Thames.
But, ATCO Two, does the airship a)have to follow H4 (because it's a triple, not single, engine) and b)is an airship even an (h)?
And c)route no.3 definitely enters the London Zone, hence SVFR...
