S.P.: The only reason you recognise a tall horse is because you seem to be on one yourself.

My comments regarding perceived separation were made through my own and colleagues' experiences on radar and also from discussions with an ex-military ATCO, so you could not call it uninformed. Please also note that I said 'SOME military pilots'. I would agree that most of the time there is no problem, but when I am controlling civil traffic on the North Sea I keep a VERY close eye on military squawks approaching or close to the civil air routes.

My aim, like any sensible person's, is of course to try to prevent it hapening again. Some exchange of opinions can help in that process. You may disagree. That's your prerogative.
