I wouldn't say that too loudly, Paul. According to both White Waltham's and Fairoak's AIP entry, section 2.17, both airfields have an ATZ which is Class D.

You don't need a Class D clearance to go into Fairoaks or White Waltham.

Except you do.

It's a covered in a blanket agreement between those airfields and Heathrow Approach (the controlling authority of the class D).

What happens to those agreements now?

I think a simple callsign change would do it.

"Fairoaks Information Rescue 123 inbound to land".
"Rescue 123 what is your aircraft registration"
"G-ABCD".

Job done

Rescue 123 is an international cat up a tree rescue service !
