The No Singles policy at EGLF is NOTAMed and is still valid.
That is a shame and I am sure would not occur in the USA. I can understand when a single could use Fairoaks, blackbushe etc in minimal VFR but where do they go when thats not the case?
But maybe you shouldnt fly a single above 100/200 foot cloudbases? That would upset the TBM700 and Pilatus brigade.
I realize that Farnborough would be ideal as it is close to your destination (Fairoaks) but "being close to your destination" should no longer be on your mind for a genuine all-charges-waived weather diversion, should it?

I take your point and to be fair to me I did not push for a genuine weather diversion or not wanting to pay( but pay what ? £360 seems very excessive for the weight of plane and is a warning to others.
