EG R313 (Scampton) status
Coming down the east coast today, my planned track took me straight over Scampton, the centre of R313. Humberside told me that R313 was "active", then, when I had turned 45 degrees to avoid it, handed me to Waddington who told me it was "cold" and allowed me to cross it. No big deal, and maybe the status did suddenly change in that 3 minutes, but I wondered if I'd missed something in the phraseology.
Does "active" = "hot" and "inactive" = "cold", or does "active" simply mean "it might be hot or cold from time to time but we don't have the detailed schedule so you'd better ask Waddington"?
