The reporting originally stated that the "heroic" pilot had spotted the glider with very little warning (suggesting the glider was hidden by the canopy arch). They originally reported that the pilot performed a bunt manoeuvre, which, it said, was a violent turn to avoid the glider. I did point out to them that a bunt was not a turn, but a push forward of the stick, possibly to avoid the glider by flying below it. They then completely changed the report, complete with graphic to show a half outside loop. Exactly as a bunt is described in several on line references. Like the rest of you, I'm trying to work out how our "hero" manages to carry out an inverted loop at the altitudes suggested. Love to see it incorporated into next years solo Tornado display.
I must stop reading comic rags. Anyone explain what a class B risk is ?
