Not sure how to add the airspace given to British Model Flying Club, not sure if this is the correct name.  it is based on a village Sewerston about 5 miles south of Saltby.  Apparently there was an air prox between a large flying model and the Red Arrows.  would someone put this in.

Hi there and thanks for the contribution!

Do you have a link to an official document that describes this airspace? The UK airspace is ingested automatically and I suppose this type of airspace is not part of the source dataset. It is planned to import RC model airfields into openaip and generated warning airspaces for those areas automatically - but this will still take some time to go live.

Meanwhile, please send me a link that describes the airspace geometry and I will add it. Out of curiosity, what is your background? Do have experience with RC model flying in UK? Maybe we can have a private chat about regulations etc.

Cheers,

Stephan
