I just had a look at NATS UK | UAS Restriction Zones. UK covered in red it seems and living in glasgow most of the airspace near me is now showing as EGD219H RPAS CORRIDOR. Does anyone know why there seems to be much more of the UK showing red which I assume are FRZ’s
I’m not sure why you’d assume that.
What does Drone Scene say for the area you want to fly in?
“I’m not sure why you’d assume that.”
Because being a “rookie” I am not knowledgable regarding UAS maps and NATS .
The reason I ask is that as Drone assist has gone into administration, I assumed that the drone assist app would not be getting updated and read that it was advised to look at NATS UK UAS restriction zones. A Google A.I. search result came back saying that the H meant high level and would not affect drone flying under 400ft. I guess that’s why I thought would ask on Grey Arrows forum to get confirmation of this.
DroneScene doesn’t show any restrictions. So, can I assume Drone Scene is the best resource for safe flying information?

Understood, but please don’t assume red = don’t fly, you won’t be able to fly anywhere 
I know red often represents danger, but it doesn’t always represent a FRZ. For reasons unknown, even Class D airspace is red on the map 
Excellent news, enjoy your flights 
Drone Scene filters out a lot of data that does not apply to drones, hopefully making the map clearer and easier to understand.
I wouldn’t trust AI for any legal or airspace advice.
If it helps, the “about” page of Drone Scene gives a detailed breakdown of each layer on the map: https://dronescene.co.uk/about#MapLayersAirspaceOverlays

Thanks for you help…appreciated 
There are a few videos on that /about page too @jimrey - they may help you to get the most from all the features available in Drone Scene.
Thank you
Just been looking a dronescene. I enabled the class d airspace option and got below. Can someone explain the implications (if any)
GLASGOW CTR
Category
Control Zone (CTR)
Summary
Red zones are regulated high-risk areas and operation of your drone may be hazardous or prohibited.
Altitude
This piece of airspace is in effect between Surface and 6000ft MSL
Regulated Airspace
This airspace has a specific classification which applies to manned aviation, and may have implications on drone operations depending on local laws and regulations governing drone use. Regulations governing the flight of drones vary from country-to-country, therefore these areas are included for your information. It is your responsibility to check the applicability of any local, state and/or national laws and regulations which may permit or otherwise restrict the operation of your drone. Unless regulations in your region explicitly permit the operation of your drone in this area, we recommend you do not operate your drone here.
It’s Class D airspace, it’s not relevant to drones, you can ignore anything in Class D.
As mentioned above:

Thanks again.
I just did a google search and it confirmed what you say…
Key regulations and considerations for small drones in Class D airspace:
- No separate permission for Open Category: For drones operating in the “Open Category” (under 25kg, within visual line of sight, and below 400ft/120m), you do not need to contact air traffic control for clearance to fly inside Class D airspace.
Phew 
There are no regulations or considerations. As above, Class D is irrelevant to drones (as are many other airspace classes).

Just to add to what @PingSpike has already said on this one last month.
The key bit of info for this EGD219H can be found in the link you had in your first post:
Upper limit: FL660
Lower limit: FL500
Those are the upper and lower altitudes (FL = Flight Level) that the airspace is active, and they’re measured in hundreds of feet. So EGD219H is only in place between 50,000 feet and 66,000 feet (far, far above the 400ft maximum we’re allowed to fly).
