I've just received this from BC:

"The pitched roof construction appears to be satisfactory however please confirm, how the roof timbers are fixed to the wall plate as no L / truss clips were noted."

My proposed response is: "they are skew nailed with at least 2 x 100mm nails each"

Will this be considered acceptable, (wind zone 2)?

While I was aware of stuff like strapping the wall plates, suitably fixing tiles, roof batten standards etc I suspect I may have missed a trick on this one!
 
Yes. clips or double skew nailed. Both acceptable.
