For some reason yours is different to mine: ![image](https://d1q8cepst0v8xp.cloudfront.net/original/3X/b/f/bfe5b2d457e8b5dcda906e9ce6c1f7198184f47a.png) ---

Ok. I get your version if I click on the rectangle on the right of this image but my version if I click on the red circle over Stamford. I don’t understand why those two areas generate different popups but I am fairly new to this and happy to be educated. 🙂 ![image](https://d1q8cepst0v8xp.cloudfront.net/original/3X/2/a/2a86178fde74eefeed451263f1a90668853e7d35.jpeg) ---

Drone Scene only includes ATC contact details on the `Flight Restriction Zones` layer 😊 ---

Ok. Thank you. 🙂 In this case the Airspace Restrictions layer is over the top of the Flight Restriction Zones layer. I seem to remember that there was a recent alteration to Drone Scene that would show both layers information for overlapping zones? I only got the information for the top layer. What have I done wrong? ---

Steve, sorry but you have no chance of a response at the weekend let alone a bank holiday weekend. The service’s are very much a part time affair theses days. I used to fly my glider out of Whittering, it has a lot of storage there now. [Next page](https://greyarro.ws/t/stamford-lincs/76158.md?page=2)
