Although your flex wings are a pain in the arse in the circuit and I wish you could strap something to them to paint on primary radar
I know what you mean. Was it not due to flex wing incursions in the Edinburgh CTR that it was altered and extended - or was that Vince too?

Also, did I not read about one of the flex wings from Perth slamming into a hill top near glenshee last year - narrowly missing some walkers/climbers. I don't recall that was a forced landing but just stupendously dim flying. Was this man named and shamed?

Apologies to all if this was done to death at the time but I think I may have been overseas at the time it happened and can't remember where I read about it. I will now search for an AAIB report but, on the face of it that was an avoidable CFIT which endangered third parties and was no doubt also a breach of rule 5 ( object, person or structure).

Seems that maybe speaking to the medja is the reason for criticism of VH.
