This happened to a friend of mine (not me, honest).
He had apparently entered class D, although at the time he was sure he had avoided it, and had to phone ATC on landing. He said he was told that a report would be done but it wouldn't be a "99", or wouldn't be "99'd" ??
He was obviously worried at the time, so may have mis-heard what was said.

It must be said that although the CAA do have the power to take legal action, following which, they have the power to remove a rating or suspend a licence they rarely do so, unless they are convinced that the pilot was deliberately negligent, and/or deliberately commiting an offence against the ANO.
In the vast majority of cases, advice to the pilot concerned is issued with regard to whether they should just be more careful, or undertake further training (bear in mind that they can also, in extreme cases, order you to do this).

My advice is if you think you may cut close to somebody's airspace call them and let them know.
We have numerous zone infringers on essex. Sometimes they're very minor but other times controllers have to take avoiding action with the inbounds.
If you don't want to talk to the unit then at least listen out on frequency, we do try and call those who have crept into the airspace in the hope they may be listening out.
