The quotes from the group you mention here don't appear to be that fanatical:

They seem to have a reasonable (on the face of it) concern that plans to develop the airport could introduce a large increase in scheduled commercial traffic from Biggin will have a detrimental affect on their quality of life.

BIGGIN HILL AIRPORT
The consultation period on the Government's Southeast Regional Air Services Study (SERAS) was extended to 30 June 2003 following a successful Court challenge over the omission of Gatwick Airport in the original proposals. We are a member of FLIGHTPATH which co-ordinates opposition to the further development of the airport at Biggin Hill. They together with Bromley Council have made representations specifically that no mention is made in the consultation document to the 125 year lease restriction on the use of the airport for scheduled flights. The Government has undertaken to give its response to the consultation exercise by the end of the year and hopefully they will acknowledge the legal constraints on the use of the airport imposed by the landlord Bromley Council. Meanwhile you may have heard that Bromley Council failed in the High Court to have the decision to build a large hangar overturned. Clearly we will need to monitor developments closely as we intend to do along with supporting the work of FLIGHTPATH.
Again, the mention is of
further development.
