Does either hand of the CAA know what the other is doing?
"On a more positive note he went on to say that the CAA want greater integration, more class E airspace and more flexible use of airspace."
Yet in Scotland, where the only bit of British Class E is, the main area was quickly abolished after one of the closest airproxes between a glider and a BA flight!
The story then was that the CAA had decided Class E was not fir for purpose!
(of course, we then went on to have F changed into E+, but that is yet another story)
