I live near Surbiton, and today I've seen 3 different single engine aircraft fly past.
I have to say I've never even seen one before (except Mil or BBMF). We are well inside the London TMZ and close to LHR.
I can only assume London are giving Special VFR Zone transits much more easily now things are quiet? It's not something I'd normally ask for, but if they are now possible I'll certainly ask next time I'm up. Any feedback on this would be welcome.
Also any comments on complying with the "Land Clear" rule. I certainly don't want to put anyone in the lurch here, but I'm not sure how to comply on this, as in the example of the most recent route I saw on FlightRadar: From Woolwich to Chertsey, via Forest Hill, Mitcham, Surbiton and Weybridge. (I could post an image, but don't have anywhere to host it). Thoughts on that also welcome
