A good friend of mine mentioned that he'd seen on the local news that there were going to be introductions of GA being "banned" over Newcastle whilst the Olympics were on. I can't find anything on this, can anyone help?
Go to the AIS website. There's a not below 2500ft restriction around St James Park from 26 July - 4 August, and thats it.
I wouldn't rely on uninformed journalists if I were you!
