Really? In my experience it's the aircraft who are calling up/staying with Farnborough LARS outside their operational area. How far do you think the Farnborough LARS sectors should stretch?
Yes. But you have mis-understood my point. I am saying Farnborough's coverage is too large.

Every other LARS unit operates some say 25-30nm radius from a point centered on their airport.

Farnborough goes so much wider - has 3 areas and covers a huge amount of airspace around the South East.

Really what Farnborough is doing should have been called London Approach and let VFR traffic go in and out of controlled airspace easily but of course they were not smart enough to figure that one out.

My point remains: The role of LARS is poorly understood and inconsistently applied by many.
