There were Chinooks trying to use H3 on both wed and thu; I couldn't convince them it was a nono; must admit it wasn't clear in the AIP supplement.
Situation is even busier today with the 3nm TRA at Wycombe Air Park and no transits allowed.

The Power/Grand that must have had their speedo stuck at 100kts.........does the 109 stall below such speeds;-)
Cheers 'special' speak to you again soon no doubt.
according to the AIC speed limit inside the zone had to be 100 kts

It is indeed 100kts. When it was quiet I offered/approved speed increases. Sometimes I asked some to slow down as Battersea was full.
Anyway - the numpty award probably goes to a certain pilot who thought that the base of the LTMA nr LCY is 3500ft - and was going over the top of the LCY zone........
He gave a great explanation.......
