FFB, Thanks for the free lesson. I am already aware of the overhead joining procedure (since I was first taught and practiced it in 1973) and subsequently taught it to RAF SEP students.
Well it's not a competition but seeing as you brought the subject up I was first taught the OHP in 1967. I have also taught same on numerous occasions to a diversity of students both in the civil and military environments. There is nothing wrong with reiterating the basics and besides that's how we learns new things or ways to teach - as a professional instructor I am always interested to listen to what others have to say.

two aircraft could be heading for the same point in space at the same time without prior warning.
Like anywhere then? (Especially Class G airspace).

Lookout, effective use of the radio and common sense/airmanship are the answer to keeping it safe for everyone.
As always.
