how much do you fly?
I use flight following all the time, I have had traffic called out to me
that I
never saw. Its hard to see a plane coming head on, its easier to see them
when
they are off to the side a bit.

I saw (and avoided, obviously) a biz-jet coming directly towards
me, reciprocal heading, at exactly the same altitude yesterday. It
was a few miles south of Hatfield and I was monitoring Essex radar
but not talking to them...guess the biz jet wasn't talking to them
either as I wasn't called out as traffic.

I pushed the stick down and descended about 200ft fairly
quickly. I only saw it was a biz-jet as it passed directly above.
