The other was reported by the pilot of the parachute aircraft who saw how close the DHC8 got to the parachutist.
I know from a meeting held by FlyBe a few weeks later they were not aware of the incident with the parachutist.
Two reports were submitted. One by Flybe against the C182. The other was submitted by the parachutist. Flybe were not aware that a parachutist was in the air at the time and looked a bit shocked when they found out
BTW I was the parachutist and I was at that meeting as well.
