The ones under column “P” in Annex A (e.g. Southend) don’t need 12h PN to Special Branch
2h PN GAR to UKBF is enough for say Jersey, Guernsey…
Interesting that Lydd EGMD is on that list. I bet nobody knew that. Could be handy. None of the others are useful for south coast departures, except Exeter EGTE at £80… Bournemouth EGHH at £105 (today’s price, below 1500kg) and the only way to avoid that is to “visit a company for maintenance”. Southampton EGHI… won’t even bother to ask.
Touch and go at Lydd and then get on your way!

That works for Kent Police but does not work for UKBF in Lydd (also TechStop are prohibited for GA under GAR rules)
While ago, I called Police from Damyns Hall asking if we can go to Jersey on short notice, they replied check with “UKBF if they are happy”. Funny that back then you don’t even need outbound GAR
Has anyone ever meet Special Branch (Police) or got a call from them for UK flights to Jersey or Guernsey? I don’t even know how they look like (I know how UKBF look like)
The last time from Duxford-Jersey, I naively assumed SGAR does send notice to Police (apparently it does not and I should email separately)

So basically that list is nearly useless.

I was being somewhat factitious about the T&G :) I’ve never been met by the UK police, only Border Force. I have been met, though, by the Guernsey police and Guernsey customs (different departments) upon arrival there from Spain.

This urgently needs to be clarified – the previous version of the sGAR guidance said sGAR did notify the police; now it seems not.
The government GAR site works fine for the CI.
You can go to Jersey from Lydd with 2h PN SGAR notice, however, you have to make full stop there (it’s the T&G mentioned earlier by Indochine that does not work)
From Shoreham to Jersey, you need 12h PN to Police and 2h PN SGAR to UKBF
