The LARS print out is your lot for radar service. There are gaps. Outside this and controlled airspace the only service is basic. Which is as much use as a chocolate teapot or an ashtray on a motorcycle (choose your metaphor).


London info are great but they are what they say on the tin - an information service, not a live traffic service.(but they'll help all they can).

Welcome to the UK. It's a great place both for flying and other stuff, despite our odd ways.
