“I'd question the wisdom of flying non-radio in an area as dodgy as this, but it would be perfectly legitimate”
Lots of non radio aircraft based in the area. This includes Micros, LAA and Gliders from multiple strips and airfields. However, I would have thought that non would be at 900ft 3nm for Cov. I following the last fatal mid air I did an analysis of the aircraft in my vicinity (10 min flying time north of this incident) and concluded that 80% would not be transponder equipped.
