Daily Mail (front page) tomorrow reporting that the cockpit crew of a Thompson flight on August 23rdsaw a missile pass within 1000 ft of their aircraft whilst near SES.
Interesting that the UK CAA kept quiet about this. I have certainly not heard of it.

One wonders what the priorities of the CAA are. I reported to the UK CAA about eau de cologne causing fires in cockpits, like the Egyptair B772 in 2011. But they would not even acknowledge my report, even when sent to the head of the CAA.

What are the CAA for, if they will not act on reports? Why do we bother with MORs?
