Well, if you intend to do what you say, you'll have to talk to either Farnborough radar, Essex radar or Stansted to get permission to enter the transponder mandatory zone which is 'restricted airspace'.
It's a Transponder Mandatory Zone, not a Radio Mandatory Zone (at least not until the Olympics ).
No need to talk to anyone to go thru' the TMZ, just Squawk inc. 'C'.
Thanks for the correction, perhaps I was thinking of non-transponder equipped aircraft entering the zone needing permission. As is I can't find the reference that I had that stated one needed to call one of the services before entering the zone. Anyone have a reference to the correct procedure?
