Having been involved with two near hits in the last 10 years, both of
which would have been prevented by a Flarm, it seems bloody stupid not
have a 750 Euro unit not installed in *every* aircraft.

If you look in the following database,
http://aviation-safety.net/index.php
which is a wiki and lists aircraft crashes around the world back to 1920's
you will find very very very very few mid-airs.
So far this year, for 896 recorded accidents there are the following only;
3 - military, training mid-airs 2 were combat jets / 1 was helicopters
1- GA, R22 helicopter vs Beechcraft in USA - both landed safely.
That's it.
For the whole world.
Now I accept this database is not a complete listing,
and let's remember how many millions of flights there have been in that time,
but as a percentage, just 1 GA mid-air out of 896 reported accidents in last 6
months - a pretty reasonable sample size.
Maybe we should think about the causes of the other 890 too !
and get a sense of proportion.
