No he really did not! What he has said, consistently, is that unless the ground infrastructure at Inverness is improved, or better information to ATCOs concerning effects of vortex or jet blast is provided, he would like microlights banned.
This would be purely for safety and flight regularity reasons, in that order. He would greatly miss the presence of most of the GA at Inverness, indeed is extremely grateful for its presence at quiet times as it helps keep his hand in. This is particularly true as he is most definitely middle-aged!
