Happy New Year to everyone. I’ve been temporarily out of touch so I will try to answer as many of the points that have been put up as I can.
Lodown, I agree that the primary purpose of military airspace is to allow for training in warlike scenarios. However I’m not referring to aircraft being held when the other traffic is military. I’m clearly referring to the situation when the other traffic is a civilian aircraft. Please read my post again.
Barkly1992, retire? You would have to be joking. Churchill became the Prime Minister of Great Britain when he was 63 – which is my age. No, I don’t compare myself with Churchill, but if he could win a war at that age, surely I can complete some pretty simple but important aviation reforms.
