It's not the size that matters, it's what you do with it that counts. ;) ;) ;)

I think the IOM control zone is the standard size.

It's a strange shape for a 'standard size'...:confused:

Everything is bigger in the Isle of Man....seriously though, I did not think it was much bigger than other places....also got a few stubs NW and SE to protect traffic climbing into and descending out of B3 or should I say L10 or whatever it is they are going to call it from the end of the month!!

Interesting point is the Isle of Man has territorail airspace as well as territorial waters....extend 12 miles from the coast from the surface to space!! Wait till we start charging for all the transits!!;)
