Noticed the gliders at Lasham are fitted with FLARM units. A bit like TCAS (put simplistically) as I understand, only useful for warning of other FLARM equipped aircraft. The feeling about these from some was ambivalent - might be disadvantageous in giving you a false sense of security, but on the positive side, a useful addition to a good lookout (on the basis that no-one is infallible).
