Although Wycombe Air Park is underneath the London TMA the airspace restrictions are minimal as the base of Controlled Airspace just to the West is at 4500 feet QNH.
There is plenty of Class G airspace around Booker which allows for a free and easy training environment but with the benefit of many facilities nearby. Civil and Military Radar Services are available from Heathrow, Luton, Benson and Farnborough.
There are more NDBs and VORs around than you can shake a stick at and all of the local civil and military airfields allow training with the exception of Heathrow.
Numerous smaller airfields are in close proximity for added fun and quite a number of farmers' strips can be seen in the local area.
