Would I be correct in thinking this would be somewhere near Southwold?
Very good.

If you can track down GonzoEGLL, unlikely to be here he gave up some time ago, he is probably well up to speed on the subject.
He's active on Twitter, let me know if you need user name.

I must have led a charmed life when I flew in America. The clearance was almost always "as filed" (which in empty regions was almost always "direct"), there'd be an initial altitude, usually a cruise altitude to expect after 10 minutes, a frequency and a squawk. In the New York area, which could be a bit manic, using the preferred IFR routes from the A/FD generally kept controllers happy and clearances short.

There was a legendary RT exchange at Cardiff many years ago...
