Aora,
At Hammo one day, heavy showers had cleared and can see half way to destination and radar shows clear the rest of the way clear so decide to head off. I requested taxi clearance and provided intentions and was advised airspace closed to VFR - what are your intentions?
At the runway holding point looking at where I'm going and thinking buggar - if I don't get out in this break I could end up spending the night here.
A couple of seconds later comes the moment of inspiration followed by the radio call - 'Request Special VFR'.
It was that easy - and so was the flight as for that matter. From memory it did close back in later.
