Flew into Cranwell in a PA28 a couple of months ago. Arranged PPR via a very friendly corporal in Ops and was advised to bring my passport as a form of ID. Before I was handed over from Cottesmore Radar (I was getting a RIS), the controller asked "What type of recovery do you require at Cranwell". I had never heard this expression before, but he meant ILS, PAR etc. I opted for visual as viz not too bad - but I got very helpful vectors from ATC anyway. Landing fees were about £34 (would have been £7 more without the MOD Insurance clause). All in all, a great experience.
