Default Bad fortnight in the UK

There has been a midair today - sounds as if the glider pilot
parachuted out, but no word about the occupant(s) of the light
aircraft. From the BBC photo[1] it looks like G-CXHZ, which is an LS4.
This follows a fatality yesterday[2] and another at the Mynd two weeks
ago[2] - a friend there tells me it was a spin in off the wire.
