I went down to Blackbushe yesterday I was about 5 miles to the east of DTY on a mag track of 179 at FL55 why do I them meet some dumbased bastard on a reciprocal heading and about 50 feet higher.
On the way back approx 20 mile further north with a FIS from East Mids at FL45 I get a call G-MS unknown traffic in your 12 o'clock 2 miles no height I reply traffic copied looking reply from East Mids very faint no transponder and 20 secs later I pass some other (or maybe the same) dumbased bastard on a reciprocal heading and about 150 feet higher.
The queston is why are people still flying around with no transponders and at the wrong levels - do they have a death wish? Or is it just me!
