Blackpool airport and Warton Aerodrome (BAE systems)

If you are planning to fly in or near the location of the NFZ for Blackpool Airport or Warton Aerodrome register yourself on the airportal app which I have attached a link, I contacted Warton ATC as I was planning a flight in Lytham and they emailed me the Airportal link.
Contact numbers for ATC Warton: 01772 852374, ATC Blackpool 01253 472527.
Really helpful and I feel much more confident flying in this area now.
I checked out Fylde borough council for any bylaws which could restrict flying but could not find any.

I used that app to get permission from Warton to fly in Kirkham, was very quick and easy.

I have mixed feelings about this :confused:

Which other airports use app.airportal.aero? Which airports use Altitude Angel? Which airports use email? Which airports uses telephone-only? Which airports use some.other.app?

We desperately need to standardise this :pensive:

Yes i agree its getting very complicated, it was by chance i contacted the atc Warton just to inform them i was close to their restricted airspace out of curtesy.
