Don't forget parachute sites!!

From Lashenden's AIP entry:
b. Whilst parachuting is in progress:
  1. No overhead joining, aeroplanes should join downwind of the runway-in-use;
  2. Aeroplanes are to avoid the Drop Zone and the area in the undershoot of Runway 29 whenever parachuting is in progress;
  3. Helicopters may not operate in the ATZ and should check with A/G Station that no parachuting is in progress before engaging rotors.
