Hi Sukumar,
The book you are referring to is "Free as a Bird". It has a lot of
information over many chapters about the fight to keep airspace open in
the
UK. You can see details on the book using the link below. I don't
sell
the
book but I do have links to several used book sources. I have a copy,
but
I'm not interested in selling it. I don't think it would be possible
to
copy just a few pages because the data your ore interested in is spread
throughout the book - if I remember correctly.

One of the books of Philip Wills has a chapter that describes how the
BGA
was able
to obtain the freedom to fly gliders in controlled airspace in the UK.
As
I recall, this
was the result of a statistical analysis on the probabilities of mid
air
collisions. Would
anybody know where I may be able to lay my hands on this report or
anybody
provide it or perhaps a copy of the chapter of the book.
It has been many years since my reading the book to which I no longer
have
access.
I am an inactive glider pilot in Bangalore India that has airport
problems
which
however are not related to gliders . The way the BGA tackled their
problem
so many
years ago may have relevance hence my request.
I am also making this request to the BGA.
Thanks,
Sukumar
