I fly from a strip not far from Norwich and have no beef about their airspace proposal.

No-one has mentioned theMilitary: With the cousins from Lakenheath and Mildenhall blatting in and out of their North sea playgrounds and the Marham boys joining in the fun I think the airspace will make them check their routings a bit more carefully: This must surely be an improvement in safety.

Not so long ago I had a close encounter (so close I didn't bother to look for his wingman) with a Tornado at 3000ft to the west of Norwich right in that area that is to be class D.

If class D had already been there there'd have been less chance of finding a rogue Tornado (or F15 for that matter) riding alongside.........
