Back to the top - from an incident tonight!

Chap flies right through ILS 'VFR' (in this weather - yeah right!) and calls visual with the airliner on the ILS. Keeps heading towards the airliner even though he's been told to route well behind.

Airliner has a TCAS Resolution Advisory and would have broken off the approach had I not informed him the traffic was now passing down his side and was no threat.

Airmanship from the VFR - questionable. Was it a low hours PPL - no. A complex single routing back from a demo flight.

On discussing it with the airliner driver we both decided not to file. If anyone of you out there however were to do the same (crossing an instrument approach albeit in Class 'G') you might not be so lucky. I for one will have no qualms about filing an Airprox against the next person who does that to me!
