Flight through Military Restricted RA2

[5-in-50]

The question stems from an experience I had, where despite the NOTAM stating otherwise, the RA2 was activated at short notice.

I checked the ATIS prior to entering (as I always do) and realised the RA2 was now active. I requested and received a clearance, but then got a polite reminder that flight planning through the airspace is not permitted.

I didn't have the effort to argue over the radio that they were deactive when my plan went into NAIPs 2 hours earlier...
