Delighted to hear that you have danger areas as well , As have we in this case, just is not lage enough! (desinged in the "bombing at low level" days) The current missions at medium level require a bit more space, and they cannot stay inside END-404.

Secondly, the RAF pilots would be utterly distraught at having to maintain a listening watch on a civil frequency
No loud screams last december during a deployment, but I guess they had to put up with it.

I have one sincere question: The military cannot need to occupy "all" your class G at all times, and you seem to have a lot of it. (Sitting with a Lower AS IFR map of the UK. Looks a bit tricky to get from say Newcastle to Birmingham. )

Make it CAS, and delegate it to the military WHEN they need it, and let everyone else play when they don't.

Edit: Removed childish remark (I know UK airspace is congested, kinda mentioned that earlier)
