UK Resticted airspace
Would some Air Law expert please clarify for me.
I know that one can't fly in R (restricted) or P (Prohibited) airspace but what of D airspace? Again I know that D* (Danger*) airspace is a no fly area when notified but what is the legal status of D (Danger) airspace. Am I correct in thinking that technically (although foolhardy) one can fly in D areas even when notified as active? It might disturb a military exercise but there is nothing that can be done to you for doing so?

Their definition is in their names, as you guessed it: Prohibited = no-no, forbidden, verboten, défendu.
Restricted = you can't go on your own decision and need a special clearence, sometimes with PPR, or need to check the operating times of the restrictive condition (military zone, air refueling area, missile testing, nuclear explosion tests and the likes).
Danger = Ok, you know it, be careful now! (para drops, hot air baloons, flying school aerobatic training).
