Just received the attached in an Airspace bulletin from the CAA. In summary;
Following consultation, an Airspace Change Proposal has been submitted by NATS Glasgow seeking the reclassification of the Glasgow Control Area (CTA) from airspace Class E to Class D. However, following an AIRPROX incident on 23 July 2011 between a glider and civil air transport aircraft within the existing Class E Glasgow CTA, DAP considers that a safety critical risk exists. Consequently, the Directorate has decided to reclassify the Glasgow CTA to Class D as an interim safety measure. This reclassification will take effect at 0001(Z) on 16 September 2011 and will be subject to NOTAM and AIC action.Full details here (http://www.caa.co.uk/application.aspx?catid=33&pagetype=65&appid=11&mode=detail&id=4654).
