FEBA, you're just digging yourself a bigger and bigger hole over this issue....

If you don't want to listen to my views, fair enough. But Ham Phisted has explained the problems quite succinctly.

And some of those quotes about 'Close Shave' show some very naive views indeed:

"Would London Information be able to provide a service? I don't really want to have a Radar service and radio contact every time I fly but if that's the only safe way"

"The farm strip that I fly from now is marked on the chart but that doesn't seem to deter regular visits through the airfield pattern at 200 - 300ft by Tornado's which are more interested in the radio tower close by for their turning point."

"If the Tornado was transiting from Scotland to an air show in the South of England what the heck was it doing at 2400 feet over Cambridge"

"...it seems the RAF are a law unto themselves a freind of mine was missed by only 150 feet on final approach to Popham by an F15 at 250 feet altitude !! He was following a GPS track with his head down in the cockpit"
