I've just noticed the gap between the Paralympics no fly and the corner of Stanstead TMZ is less than 2 miles wide. Is it just me or does funneling the entire East West GA route into a gap this wide look like a recipe for a mid air?

Where is Stanstead TMZ? 
The fact that it is a narrow channel will not be lost on most pilots, therefore they will most likely have eyes on stalks looking for bandits?

Re: Aiprox corner
As mentioned in another post, why not go through the TMZ? If you have a Mode C or S transponder you don't need a clearance, and if you don't you can ask for a clearance from Farnborough North 132.80 or Essex Radar 120.625. Better than squeezing through the gap and risking infringing either Stansted or P114, or worse.

Re: Aiprox corner
I didn't realise you could get clearance without a transponder, I'll give them a call.
