Sorry F3G's,
It wasn't your post I meant to pick on, but rather the way the thread developed. You were a little to blame with the sliightly condescending way you described "a group of private microlight pilots who are such aces that they have time to monitor the ground for activities such as people building unauthorised bonfires", but to be fair you didn't mention low level flying over housing estates ... that came later. I can see the point you make, but to be honest I just think that the press will report such things in whatever way they see fit. They can easily make Skywatch look a really useful tool, but if the mood takes, they can easily make them look like a bunch of busybodies snooping on us and reporting back to big brother. I just think we should all know better and take such reports at face value, be they in favour or against.
