From: Wandering the FIR and cyberspace often at highly unsociable times
On behalf of more safety conscious helicopter pilots, I offer my apology for the poor airmanship of the pilot (not me) in a twin Squirrel who flew southbound, straight over Husbands Bosworth gliding site, at approximately 700 or 800 ft this morning.

I watched his Mode C contact from above, via the TAS overlay on my moving map display and also listened to his RT (on a FIS from Coventry). I was above cloud and a few miles to the east, avoiding the glider site by a safe margin. The cloudbase was about 1300 feet; I would think that he was in a very good position to get "cheeswired" by a launch cable, had they been flying.
