The first 2010 "known future restrictions" and other airspace news pdf is now on FlyOnTrack - status as known on Feb 1st. For example Red Arrows RA(T)s (seems early, but they start displays in March), and the Cheltenham Festival, along with other news and info such as changes to the VFR recommended route towards/from Cherbourg, Solent listening sqawk, etc .

I've amended the pdf newsletter referenced above to (temporarily) remove the quoted lat/long for the London City VRPs. (They are still there in VOR/DME form). Rob Hill (BMAA) was on the ball and wondered why they were in either Somerset or Holland - leading zero missing, he deduced. Anyway, they are being re-checked and will be re-issued in the pdf. They are correct in 'official documents' like the AIP but were wrong from this morning in this pdf from when they were 'put up' around 11:00 til about 14:25 UTC. When the lat/longs for the London VRPs re-appear, they will be correct, for the moment they just say 'being checked'

ps: 'Thanks Rob'
