From: Do I come here often?
Had to renew my rotary IR a couple of weeks ago, we had a corporate job first, into Battersea and almost no ILS in the south of the UK pointing the right way that day due to the easterly wind. Called Luton as we would have to fly through their zone on the way to base, they were great. Radar vectored ILS (single engine) missed approach out to the north to go and do the rest of it at base. All for £110.

I will add that we were mighty lucky, our time coincided with their slack half hour at lunchtime and they had space and time for us. I think they were a bit surprised to get 145kt to the numbers from a helicopter, but it kept everything going smoothly.
