Rory,
Andrej Kolar put me on to you to highlight some so-called "glider areas" in the UK.  You might be good enough to re-designate to reflect how we treat them when flying here.  They are:-
1. Brize Norton' s outer zone, now shown as a "glider area" in SeeYou Mobile.  Thus it shows in the same colour as a glider area, rather confusing.  This is an active military terminal zone and Class D Airspace plus they claim they don't have anything in their Order Book about glider sectors.
In any case we need to ask for clearance each time we transit so to highlight it would you consider changing it to normal Class D status in SeeYou Mobile?
2. Similarly, the two airways above Portmoak going north out of Edinburgh, B226 &  P600 now only become visible on SeeYou Mobile if one activates them as "glider areas"!   Not many people know that trick so to avoid people busting them they would be better to have both designated as "airways".   I know only one is active at any time but better to always see both than none I suggest.
Thanks for your great work,  John McWilliam
