The night low flying region extends to 2000' in some of the areas the Midlands AA operates in - are they just going to rely on see and avoid or hope that TCAS saves them? They need a way to plug in to the military low flying system or the ability to request a TDA from the ARCCK.
How active is the fixed wing night low flying region these days? Given that when I was serving, the rotary region was south of a line that(approx) ran East/West just to north of London.

It's not been too much of a concern while 99% of our flying was in the Liverpool CTR, but we are now operating all over Cheshire and a lot of North Wales.

I've not seen any signs of LL fast movers yet. Are they still about?
