Re: Unidentified plane violates no fly zone
No, but airspace over London at low level is restricted so if you have not filed you flight plan you would be in trouble, that and flying a single engine over London is I think unapproved as you have no get out of jail free plan in the event of engine failiure. We also fly straight over Westminster castle, stack jets over Canary Wharf etc.

Washington airport is incredibly close to the city, just over the river and the glide path is quite complex as it involves a couple of sharp turns to avoid overflying the whitehouse, pentagon, capitol building etc. If you deviate from the flight path they are over you like hawks (well more like F16s actually - hawks are not particularly well armed). I'll find the pictures I took at Christmas of how close the jets are to the major monuments.
