Heard on the airwaves that there were no less than 4 infringements ( 2 aircraft, 1 microlight and 1 glider) all between the start time of 13:00hrs and 13:15 when Red 1 gave up and went off with his flock.
Believe 3 have been identified. The Air Show organisers are obviously hoping mad, the Reds have also filed complaints and the CAA are involved, talk of prosecutions and 'throwing the book at them'.
Rumour that one of the culprits when questioned about reading NOTAMS and TSA's claimed he 'was in a hurry' !!!!
Make of that what you will.
Anybody else with info?
