As for Damyns Hall
You will probably get no response from ATC.
Never manned these days.
You may get a reply from another aircraft in the circuit.
If not keep and eye on the wind sock and make blind calls when landing.
As for flight planning to LTQ.
Theres a guy at Damyns called Deepak who will help.
On departure you will need to call an ATC unit to open your flight plan.
probably via london information.
The other thing in the UK VRP,s are called Visual reference point. Ie you don,t have to be directly overhead them just be visual.
