I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

We have a couple in Lincolnshire. One off the coast that we learnt about from the Boston Harbour master that he thought we might be interested in and another from the protest group who want 'low flying' rather that a wind farm.

Mind you, like much of the present 'system' only now, with wind farms springing up and more ready to roll are we doing a wind survey! In India they mapped the whole of India more than 6 years ago and about 4 years ago India was the No 5 producer of wind energy in the world.

Better though. A Dane offered the MOD a scheme for realistic tactical low flying with no cost in providing enemy defences. The MOD bit (but at no cost).

Yes, I kid you not, it was flying through wind farms. Probably reckoned that the jet wash would help generate electricity on a calm day (or night )
