Hersham: try
http://www.aaib.dft.gov.uk/bulletin/bulletin.htm goes back to 1996...
I just read the report on the way into work... I'm amazed to learn that people can do this sort of thing (i.e. homemade night approach aids!)... then when I read that its been done by a very experienced ATPL holder with many over 8,000 hours I think to myself, well maybe its reasonable for a guy with this level of experience... maybe its just my lack of experience (@ just 125 hrs lowly PPL level, none of it at night!) that makes me think this is a foolhardy, cavalier, reckless and dangeroulsy stupid thing to do?
Besides what I think whatever, I presume that this practice is somehow illegal in terms of Rules of the Air or some other regulation? I'd be interested to understand this.
Cheers all!
