Just curious but on what grounds do you make that statement? I never worked at Coventry but I did spend a year at Kidlington where that sort of situation arose many times every day.
Just referring to the old debate regarding mixing higher performance aircraft with PFA/GA traffic. I flew out of Coventry for many years and it was a regular concern - sod's law / law of averages - Atlantique/Atlantic Airlines regularly operating big twins/big fours under VFR conditions in Class G airspace, followed by the arrival of Thomson with their 73's and 75's, see it how you like, but in my 6 years or so operating out of CVT, I couldn't help but think that something like this might happen.
