MATZ are class G airspace which the MIL have no control over and through contacts have rigged it so they think are controlled airspace.
The more people ask for a transit get refused and give them the hey ho going on route the sooner that pish gets put to bed. Get the QFE off them to keep yourself legal and ignore the over controlling.
I will grant you some units are the top dogs not requiring such tatics but your like's of lossie don't even entertain them.
