I suggest you don't fly in Scotland then Peter. Last year it came up in parlament that the fishermen were knackard and could the mil please turn it off.
And most planes FMS has DME/DME as the primary and VOR/DME or VOR/VOR as the fall back for position fixing. So I doud't even 1% of the big stuff would even notice that the GPS was out. They would just press the msg button twice to stop it flashing.
And the area that I was commenting on you don't get 200nm directs you get 500Nm directs with no VHF coverage and just miles and miles of sand with the occasional rocky out crop and some polo shaped fields of green.
