The midair between a Tutor power plane and a glider near Didcot a few years back, the problem was the Tutor pilot could not because of a physical problem turn his head well enough to see and avoid, so hit the glider from behind.
Lets be frank. That crash was just complete idiocy on the part of the Tutor pilot. That accident was preventable at the pre-flight planning stage.
