"When that bizjet crashed at Blackbushe in the UK a few months ago the AAIB's initial statement of known facts a few weeks later mentioned a change in the circuit pattern by the jet to accommodate a slow flying microlight.
This was the first anyone had heard of the presence of a microlight and those flying it have never made any public statements - though I'm sure they have made one to the AAIB."
IIRC, It was well reported and discussed at an early stage as a possible indicator that the private jet pilot was cutting corners.
