Just seconds from catastrophe, the pilot sent his plane into a dive and managed to avoid a head-on collision by 30ft.
This was copied from the article, head-on collision?

and then this....
I think the flexwing (microlight) might not have seen me until very late, he did appear to be drastically trying to climb as he went over me.
The microlight pilot could not see the plane because he was flying in the same direction.
