NLJ :
The mention of TCAS going off was "Tongue in Cheek"
Look - our lens is very good, but not that good that we could see your cheeks........just leaving a gap here for the obvious locker room retorts........
Very chilled. Good to hear from a pilot with altitude.
Sorry, attitude.

However, the rest of the statement shows you were misinformed.
Not strictly G8 (which was the Gleneagles TRA) - but the TRA for the Edinburgh area topped at 2000 QNH. No access was permitted except for the ASU helicopter. We and others chose to operate above the TRA in the Class D and we were given clearances which had passed through police permission first. On one occasion (the night of the Edinburgh Live 8 concert) my pilot was asked over the air by ATC for his full name before being given access. I bet that one isn't in the ATC manual.
This request was overheard by an incoming airliner whose pilot chipped in "Have you been speeding then ?"
