Just as an aside to this thread. I was on a flight from Guernsey to
Shoreham last week and had to divert into Southampton due to weather
(snow and very low vis.). When we landed at Southampton we were told
they would not wave the landing fee as we had not called a Mayday or Pan
so it was not considered an "emergency divert". They were quite
insistent, but so were we about not paying and after having the matter
referred to the airport manager we won the day. Anyone else experienced
this kind of nonsense ?

Gents,
Some time last year I remember reading an article in ??? magazine (This
is the question) where two guys of very different experience had flown a
set route round Southern England, asking for and mostly getting crossing
clearance for Southampton, London city, Stanstead and Luton ATZ while
flying VMC. They flew a C150 with the experienced guy on the radio and
them reversed the route in a twin with the inexperienced guy on the
radio. Do any of you remember the article and if so what book and date.
Thanks. Paul Mitchell
