That's the one.

Ref the airprox. The parachute aircraft was on Dundee freq at all times. Dundee were called 2 mins to commencing the drop, and drop complete and descending. Both calls were acknowledged by Dundee. Why the " professional" crew of the Dornier got a scare Ive no idea.
Can't prejudge the Airprox report, but presumably the drop aircraft would also be aware of the Dornier and use the information to their advantage as well. I suspect the Dornier crew got a scare as they routed well to the North of the drop zone (as per the CAA chart) and weren't expecting to encounter a rapidly descending aircraft about 5 miles away from Errol and outside the promulgated area ?
