First I contacted NATS HR via phone, who then forwarded my request.

Some other books which I found out about which may help if you're interested;

'Air Band Radio Guide' also by G.Duke (6th Ed) helps understand how most of the RT take place.
'UK ATC' by David Graves. Even though that thing was written in 1989 and reprinted in 1990..... a lot of the fundamentals are the same. It goes into depth with each one of the London Airports and how their traffic is controlled which is quite cool.
Just done a search on amazon and fleaBay, the 10th edition of ATC isn't out until August and the secondhand books are eye wateringly overpriced.

I'll probably borrow 'UK ATC' from a library and have a look at some of the documents on the NATS website.
