thing,
I take it from your post #6 the unnamed zone was military. In which case your comments in that post hit the nail on the head. When we (civil) took over the ATC task from the RAF at this airfield we were amazed at how the military mind seems perpetually to be at war. Even the simplest 'Yawn, boring' aircraft movement was turned into an adrenalin and testosterone fuelled frenzy. And regardless of being in Class G airspace, every transitting aircraft was instructed to 'Keep clear of the area' or 'Remain clear of the approach', blind calls on 121.5 being made if the aircraft was not in R/T contact. I think the RAF see themselves as aerial traffic wardens, hence the over-enthusiastic use of the term 'Infringing'.
(Nothing against the military; I had 16 marvelous years wearing a blue suit. But then I saw the light.)
