I could see the long black trail of smoke, and allowed my eye to follow them along a bit. Mistake. Two more whooshed by me alarmingly close. I trust they knew I was there...
I was flying back from Breighton yesterday with a mate who is an experienced pax. We had a call as we crossed Donny zone advising us of traffic departing Finningley. I said to him that the danger in looking in x direction for traffic that has been called is that you tend not to look anywhere else until you have spotted it. Always keep a good look out I was saying and as I looked in the other direction sure enough, a rag wing microlight was close enough for concern. He obviously wasn't showing on Donny radar.
