Solent (the NATS Unit surrounding Southampton) has produced an excellent colour guide to their airspace and boundaries with tips, q&a, advice, and the best bit - really good airborne photos of the area, as pilots approach VRPs or 'potential' trouble spots in general - take slant-angle so it's "pilot's eye view".
It's 30 pages, my 'sample population' who have seen it at Popham and one or two mid week at Compton Abbas all think it's very good. It is now online, just look at the home page of flyontrack and you'll see the news item, and you can click on the pdf there to examine it. See http://www.flyontrack.co.uk
It is being distributed in printed copy for the club rooms and briefing areas at airfields around Solent. and then who knows? If you want some copies sent to your club, the contact email is 'souga' at the usual nats.co.uk
East Midlanders also have a pictorial guide, it's there on the 'links' page of flyontrack, look for the links tab at the top, go there and find it in the 'specific guides' list
