Thanks Lead, I appreciate your views, but seem to remember a couple of incidents in E that weren't judged to be incidents because E was 'see-and-avoid' regarding IFR to VFR separation. Hence, under the regime at the time (E airspace), they were not, technicaly, incidents.
If the airspace was C, they would have been serious NMACs.
So, with all due respect, I think you are being a bit cute.
Over.
