OK chaps, we all know the weather can vary a reasonable amount in a short distance, but I think we're also aware that the pilot in question was lying - no two ways about it! Thought he was being the big boy by accepting a VFR transit. However, he was being expected to maintain visual separation on traffic he was called but had absolutely no chance of seeing - as he was flying in the middle of a cloud.
Therefore, this -proone won't allow me to use the word i want to- was guaranteeing separation from aircraft he could not see, and would not ever be able to see. Do not pass Go, do not collect £200, and give me your license, you selfish, ignorant, arrogant waste-of-airspace.
I fly professionally as well as for pleasure, and it worries me that people such as this are willing to jeapordise everyone's safety (a slim chance I'll warrant, but a chance nonetheless) for the sake of their own ego.
