Highland Restricted Area R610
It looks like at last the military are relinquishing the restrictions they have on the North west of Scotland. It was talked about a few months ago at an airspace users group meeting that I attended at Lossiemouth, the NOTAM states 4th-18th August but hopefully it will come a more permanent thing. Re activation will be by NOTAM which makes a whole load of sense.
