It still amazes me, IMHO, the blinkered view of the GA and Glider forum. How about some acceptance of the times we live in. Airspace is busy and getting busier, people want to fly more, bigger aircraft carrying more people are using airspace alongside smaller, faster aircraft with clever avionics flying in places they've previously been excluded. We all need to keep safe.
The airspace of the UK is developing for the future, not to meet the needs of the past, and I believe the CAA are addressing that the best way they can. GA and the Gliding fraternity need to keep up, or lose out.
