I was at Saturday's FIA and before the Hornet or Red Arrows were due to display (can't remember which), the commentator mentioned that they had been approved "top hat" airspace from Heathrow. I guess this means that they wanted to reserve a chunk of London TMA higher than the Farnborough ATZ. I believe it was to 8,000 ft.
My question is really, what this does to the Heathrow inbounds and departures? From a controller point of view, would any arriving aircraft from Ockham on easterlies or departures turning south on westerlies be affected at all?
