God, the replies above p1ss me off. Although this guy could have put his complaint over in a nicer manner, the replies are typical of the 'We know best and what we do is more imortant than what you do' attitude that has pervaded PPRuNe for a while now. If one is tending a large and potentially dangerous farm animal, the last thing that is helpful is to have a rotary mate nearby. It doesn't mean that it is wrong for the helo to be there but nor is it wrong for a farmer to be looking after his stock. Instead of lambasting a fellow citizen who is also trying to earn his bread, why not sympathise and offer some help?
FlyGooseFly, if you have vulnerable breeding stock or a particular time of year when you would be grateful for fewer overflights, then call a RAF station and ask for the Corporate Communications Officer. Explain the problem and suggest a solution. Be polite and emphasise how much you support the flying but that sometimes it is a real hazard to you and ask them to write to you with their answer. Follow up up the call with a letter to the Station Commander which summarises the problem and the phone call and asking for his assistance.
Fellow PPRuNers. Take a deep breath and get over yourselves for heaven's sake. There is a world out there where people do entirely different jobs to you and we need to be able to operate in tandem to them not in opposition.
