EGMC Southend Was in there today with the Citation I fly Very nice new reception area very plush
Today was good weather a bit bumpy but wind easterly about 20 degrees off the runway.
Some idiot in a Hawk fast jet cut across the ILS making the controller give me an immediate 50 degree left turn off the ILS with vectors all the way back onto the ILS.
Annoying as I was running late as it was

Yes do practice on a visual circuit in VMC. It gives you the chance to compare the ILS indications against visual and that in itself will make you more comfortable for when you cannot see.

Do tell the controller what you are doing and as long as traffic allows I am sure they will help.
Do confirm to them that you will be flying visually for solo practice
