Exclamation Somtimes it pays to select "IFR / VFR"

I found out this afternoon, by accident, that you don't get some categories of aerodrome NOTAM unless you select IFR / VFR. In this case, its of interest also to the VFR pilot...

I plan to fly to Manston (EGMH). I anticipate using the Manston LARS service enroute. When I get my briefing using only "VFR" setting, there is no mention of any problems with Manston's radar service, but when I select IFR/VFR I see:
AERODROME (DESTINATION) - EGMH (MANSTON):
COM : FROM 02/10/04 09:23 TO 02/10/06 19:00 E1513/0
E)RADAR U/S
So I now anticipate no LARS service. Granted, its not cirtical information for VFR flight, but I would suggest that this would be of interest to most VFR users.

Havva great weekend everybody!
