last discussion before the thread went to the stars was about the identity of the SEP.
Via the Flyer website found this posting on the BMAAe site.
18-Aug-2008 - Mid-Air collision at Coventry
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.

Why this secrecy? What type of plane was it and where was it based?
