Exascot,
I have only just happened upon this thread:
Bunch of amateurs who don't show up on radar, difficult to see and have very little control over their flight path
A typical uninformed, unprofessional post from an ex-RAF truckie - still smarting over being chopped from fast jet training are you? Why would you need to "show up on radar" in the open FIR? Difficult to see? Yes, but I've been flying gliders (and powered) for over 40 years and the see and be seen principle of VMC flying is still serving me well. And I have full control of my flightpath at all times.
In your subsequent post you state that you were paradropping in a danger zone - you did, of course, assure the airspace was clear for dropping, didn't you? A danger area is not a prohibited area!
