I remember the incident, but did not know the photographer was in
contact with the glider, or that it was at high speed.

That it was at high speed was well-known and reported, but not the 'Radio
contact' story: this is the first I've heard of it.

BTW: mentioning this incident is mis-attributed. I didn't mention it, but
its only the very low passes, as in below hedge/head height, that have
been banned, not high speed finishes above 50-100 feet.
