Thank you for making your contribution to a hostile discussion environment where people will keep their mistakes to themselves and therefore forcing everyone to learn from their own mistakes instead of other's.
Do I really need to point out the utter stupidity of what this guy did?

Opposite direction to training area? As a student? into IMC? with no instrument experience (apart from an instructor flying through a cloud)? Near London TMA one assumes? for at least 4 minutes? presumably unaware of Notams, CAS, danger areas, restricted areas etc etc etc?

It just beggars belief what some people do, really. Its one thing to post on here saying I made a mistake and have learnt from it but the above just floored me. I can't really believe that anyone is going to try to defend this as "woops, I made a mistake" - its just downright stupidity, nothing more to be said.
