One hopes that it would look like a mile!
On the point in the original post, I don't know the area so I ow to those with local knowledge, but I can't find anything NOTAMd about it today (maybe there was something yesterday?) and all I can find in the AIP is notification that winch and aero-tow gliding activity takes place up to 3000 ft at the aerodrome - no lateral limits are specified (ENR 5.5).
If there wasn't anything else notified yesterday, for a controller to talk about infringing something is a bit OTT. Maybe I'm missing something because thing mentions that he/she was a mile outside????
