I was having this conversation with a gliding friend of mine and I find the anti glider attitude of the power brigade to be disgraceful. This time it was two gliders. Other infringements have been from powered aircraft. It is not your power source which dictates whether you are a total prat or not.

It was quite a thermal day so the intruders could have travelled some distance to sit in the TRA (so they might not have been aware of the local event at Wyton). Im not sure what height they were at when they were spotted by Dicks flying circus. Notams are there for a purpose. If only the system was a bit more robust (and no checking the Reds details is not enough there are plenty of other 'avoids' to be considered beyond the RAFs self propelling recruitment billboard).

No one has to apologise here except for the pilots who made a mistake and just maybe the reds commentator who went a bit over the top.

A short display it might have been but the first from them I have seen this season and it still inspires me to improve my own formation work.
