Class D is not the end of the world for GA, especially in the Manchester and Liverpool zones. I have had some very pleasant transits of both zones, whilst listening to the A380, B787 traffic.
What made my day a few years ago, was when Manchester approved an orbit of Joderal Bank but at not more than 700 ft.
Also the transits of Liverpool Pier Head and Container Port at 1000ft are well worth it.
Just recently one member of our C172 group over-flew the three Queens in Liverpool Dock, followed by an overhead of Hawarden where the Red-arrows were all lined up on the Taxiway... Was that just good luck or good management...
