Any help would be appreciated. I saw this reported on TV this morning and I, too, would love to know details on this. Any help would be appreciated.

Regarding note 10 by Gwaer--the url is for a collision with one fatality that occurred about 12,000 miles away from the original "near London Gliding Club" image.

From what I have heard Dave is correct, there are often seveal gliders in the same thermal. Looks like there is an article here which goes into great detail: http://www.expandingknowledge.com/Jerome/PG/Article/Technique/Cross_Country/WillGadd_Thermals/Part_3.htm They are probably circling in a thermal.

One will find lift and attract others into the same thermal. Detecting 100' vertical altitude difference from a satellite photo MILES away would be unlikely. No big scare.

Then the images would overlap one another, so one image of the glider would cover the other one. But, here we see two gliders, so neither photo is covering the other. Couldn’t be.
