Regarding the Channel DAs inactive on weekends, I have just phone Plymouth Mil +441752557751 and was told they are always active and you need to call London Info 124.60 to get the latest. No comment on the assertion that they are inactive at weekends

It’s scarcely an “assertion”:

The guy who answered the phone was clearly not properly briefed.

“The chances of there being any Royal Navy live firing in the channel on a weekend are so close to zero as to be zero. We have a tiny number of vessels and a small proportion of them are at sea at any given time.”

DA near Southend it is a big show on weekends, I only witnessed that firework from commercial flights tough, having all of that in class D did make a lot of sense

It was today I was told by Plymouth Mil that they can’t tell me and that I have to call FIS, which I did, and sure enough they were inactive.
