Update. Small rewards on offer valid until 31st Dec 2020.

If you want to help but do not like putting bank details online you can send cash to Bob Walker, South Moor Farm, Langdale End, Scarborough, YO13 0LW. Rewards can be claimed when you visit farm.

Hi, I have been trying to establish a farm strip for the last 5 years. (Some small rewards on offer.)

I am not a professional pilot but have supported flying schools and airfields which have trained professional pilots. If you can help, please do so.

So far planning applications, appeals and consultants have cost £5000 per year over the last 5 years.

The planning authority is saying they will not consider a fifth application even with an Ecological Impact assessment so a legal challenge may be necessary if they do not change their mind.

I need £25000 this year to fund the Ecological Impact Assessment, planning application and legal fees.

A few friends, pilots and family have offered some financial support but I will need a lot more.

Any funds raised which are not required will be split between the Yorkshire Air Ambulance and other airfield fighting funds.

If successful I hope the result may enable other small flying sites to be set up.

For the full story visit my Crowd Funding page "David v Goliath"

Or my Facebook page for South Moor Farm,

Or visit the web site for South Moor Farm

Or the Flyer Forum.

If I do not obtain some support I can not continue to fight the planning authority and the final result could be used to stop other flying sites being opened.

If you can help please do so and tell other pilots and friends about the appeal.

Thank you in anticipation.

As I am a newcomer to posting on this forum it will not let me post the url's perhaps someone could add them for me.

Bob.
