Nice report (and when is your aircraft going to be gracing the skies again?!). I've done a few flights to and from EGLM and various private sites within R112. All VFR and most included class D crossings. Very competent and pragmatic controllers, particularly as the patchy viz over the last few days required some flexibility in routing.

The only cock-up was one of my FPLs wasn't acknowledged with an approval number (filed using Sky Demon), so after 10 hours and with my scheduled departure slot looming, I put in a quick phone call to Atlas which apologised and fixed it in seconds. All other FPLs have been approved and I've received my confirmation within 30 mins.

We don't want to be too generous with the applause though; the powers that be might decide to keep it after the Olympics...
