Thanks SC,
A lot more info there which points towards poor airmanship and possible ANO breaches
just a shame it is so hard to prove sometimes where blatant endangering takes place (I make no judgement in this case)
Today I witnessed a ferry pilot, who having been warned of a live high seas firing exercise associated with a large scale seaborne exercise active up to 40,000' (air to air gunnery, surface to air gunnery, and surface to surface gunnery involving a large number of ships, drones, towed targets, helicopters and fixed wing aircraft), elected to fly straight through the lot anyway causing all sorts of mayhem to the flotilla for about 100 miles. NOTAMs available, briefing available, as well as ATC warning him on the frequency, but presumably since he'd have to fly a bit of an extra distance (and maybe for fuel reasons) he decided to do it anyway. Whilst not illegal from an airspace point of view since it remained Class G airspace at his level, would he have been pleased to have been shot down but well within his legal rights if a 4.5 Inch shell or a hail of Goalkeeper projectiles ruined his day ?? Perhaps one day he'll find fame in the Darwin Awards .... ironic perhaps (geographically anyway) as it was an Ozzy aircraft
