It can get very busy in the airspace around Luton so its a case of keeping a good lookout i'm afraid and not relying on ATC to do it for you(those of you who do it-YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE).Bad news for those who used it sensibly in the past,and who may need it in the future.
Surely this will leave a large piece of airspace that cant be covered by anyone else.Not good if you are genuinely in need of coverage.

Hi
It seems that the overall LARS is getting more limited.

Maston on the south east coast had a good LARS service until it was privatised. Then the service dissapeard for a time.

Its now back in operation however try getting the service and its almost impossible as its just not manning too often.
