Would I be right thinking Coventry pilots have been trying hard to create reasons to get the airspace 'controlled', by registering lots of airproxes?
5 airproxes in a year is 6 or 7% of the national total is it not? Is it really the most congested/dangerous airspace in the country? Or are thomsonfly lousy pilots? Or very efficient and honest at reporting incidents that others ignore?
