Haven't seen the old thread for a few hours, but saw this:
BMAA Online
It is being widely reported that the mid-air collision at Coventry on 17th August involved a microlight aircraft. Using the CAA UK Register I have confirmed that the aircraft was not a microlight. It was a two seat homebuilt light aircraft from the LAA fleet.
Irrespective of aircraft type I would like to offer the condolences of all the BMAA membership to the families and friends of the pilots and passengers of the two aircraft.

Rod1 suggested an aircraft type in the old thread, and this may confirm that suggestion.
