Being in the vicinity of several MATZ and CMATZ in Lincs I usually finish up flying through one or more, they are hard to avoid TBH. Waddington LARS are always uber helpful, Scampton arent interested (they are really a sub set of Waddo anyway, if you want to transit 313 speak to Waddo), Coningsby are always OK, they may give you vectors to avoid loitering Typhoons, its just Cranwell where you get the odd 'Avoid blah'. Which I always find amusing as most Cranwell traffic is doing circuits at places other than Cranwell.
As Chevron says you are not legally bound to contact any MATZ area as long as you don't penetrate their ATZ but with the amount of Mil traffic around these parts you would be a complete idiot not to do so. IMO obviously but then for the sake of twenty seconds on the wireless why not just play it safe?
