Great post Carl. For a very popular ga field this airspace design is frankly bizarre. You won't be the last..

Idly wondering when and where someone last flew using only Morse (not 'voiced Morse' on RT)

The word “****” springs to mind.
Yep, I don’t disagree but better than a freecall/Infringement?
@carlmeek did you get the AFISO to speak to Farnborough before your departure as per the EGLK helpful webpage;
Transits of Farnborough CTR on Departure
Those aircraft wishing to transit beyond the LFA but still within the Farnborough CTR shall request a suitable clearance, initially from Blackbushe ATSU.
Blackbushe ATSU will pass the aircraft callsign, type and destination.
Farnborough will issue a Squawk, QNH, and a departure clearance. The typical restriction will be not above 2000ft, holding North West of Fleet Pond or North of M3 Junction 4.
Standard M3 Junction 4 Departure
GABCD, Farnborough clears you to cross Farnborough Control Zone, via M3 Junction 4, VFR, not above altitude 2000ft, hold north of M3 Junction 4. Squawk XXXX, QNH XXXX. Contact Farnborough Radar Frequency 133.440.
Lots of shall/will in that.

'RTF' not 'RT'.!!

And when they do a Noise Abatement Awareness Course I would give it a greater priority.....

I expect it makes a bit of a bang when a Challenger 604 hits an RV-10!

I didn't really mean anything apart from trying to be funny - but maybe making a tiny semi-serious point that it's better to have a minor noise abatement infringement than hit a jet coming the other way, or even going the same way.
Maybe everyone could infringe the noise abatement areas, and when people complain, just say, "Well, nothing to do with us, it's Farnborough who have put this stupid lump of airspace here, complain to them."
