Easyjet (and other airlines) frequently operate crew-only positioning flights into Lasham airfield for maintenance, this being the busiest gliding site in the country. Sometimes they do a visual approach, mostly it's an SRA, but except when Farnborough is closed ie roughly 10pm - 7am weekdays or 8pm - 8am weekends, they are operating under at least traffic service. If the operators and their insurance companies are happy with this, then BugOutWest should accept it's not an unusual or dangerous situation.
