In 1965, I successfully missed a Britannia whilst in the equivalent of Class E airspace while soaring over Bovingdon at 35kts, the base being 1500ft amsl and the bottom of the 'Class E' being 5000ft amsl. I was helped because I was open cockpit so I could hear the Britannia coming; I don''t think he saw me.
