Word on the street is that the microlight pilot is to be fined £2000 by the CAA and be grounded for a while . . . . .
You've got to be kiddin'!! Air Regulation Enforcement will not be back in the office until tomorrow! Will be months.

I don't know why the surprise, we regularly get the airspace around Old Warden busted during displays. No TRA admittedly but it is always notfied in the Daily Nav Warning summary and I wrote an AIC at the start of the season giving all the dates and asking people to stay clear. Can't be difficult to spot, a few thousand cars and lots of aeroplanes on the ground!!
