Received a piece of paper from ASA today. The guts of which is:
---------------------------------------- NEW RULES
The general exemptions against the requirements for carriage of SSR transponders for aircraft certified without an engine-driven electrical system will apply in all Class E airspace. Aircraft without an engine-driven electrical system (eg balloons, gliders and antique aircraft) will be able to operate in all Class E airspace, including that Class E airspace within 40NM of a Class D tower, without a transponder.
-----------------------------------------------------
Sanity prevails a little bit.
