Just a few more UK oddities, I suppose.
A mention of the landing clearance was an error. No clearance is needed/can be issued at Sywell, both within and outside the Aero Expo. To confuse matters more I don't think that the class of airspace around matters that much - Southend, Cranfield and Wycombe, to take a few, are all examples of airfields with ATC (i.e. you talk to Tower rather than Radio or Information) located wholly within Class G airspace. You will need a clearance from all of them.

Lockout is a typo, I wanted to make a joke based on it myself but got distracted at work I would like to believe that the poster meant lookout.

OK, I printed all 24 pages of instructions, briefed wife into maintaining good lookout and am all set for flying in tomorrow! If it gets hot, go-around, divert Cranfield and lunch at Cafe Pacific
