No - I've had about 30 flights pop up on SBS since 1200. As long as they
stay out of CAS they can do what they want.

Is it actually closed to VFR flights too? I can see a good reason for
NATS having the authority to close down controlled airspace, since
they've been delegated the authority to control it. Having control over
all airspace is a different matter IMHO. I wouldn't have thought there
was much risk of engine damage to a piston engined aircraft, flying at a
couple of thousand feet. If I'm wrong, then there's a risk to cars
travelling over high ground; which clearly isn't the case.
