Hi NS, well yes I had done Ex 9, but that was in open countryside. The Continuous Orbits are different and a bit more difficult, as you are trying to intercept the mid point of the downwind leg each time. I actually drifted away from the downwind leg in the slight crosswind.


As for the Tornado incident, the fact remains, the two aircraft did get within just a few feet of each other. I thought ATC would have invoked their 'Duty of Care' clause, regardless of the fact that it was Class G airspace. Maybe the whole idea of the C150's 'Photo Mission' was to get a close up of a Tornado landing at Marham..?
