Unfortunately caused carnage in the LTMA - air defence flight, the offending pilot of the light aircraft will be in for an interview without coffee with the authorities!

As long as the FIR conspicuity squawk is 7000 and the emergency codes are 7*00 this will continue to happen.

Inadvertant selection of Hijack squawk it seems, with a resultant amount of carnage in the LTMA, lots of aircraft held out all over the place with one LC inbound getting very close and personal with the fighters as they rushed to the tasking!
