Unhappy chatteris incident

“A pilot who crashed his plane when landing at Chatteris Airfield has blamed his accident on several 18’ telephone poles erected around a field on the approach to the runway. But farmer Robin Gowler, who put up the poles, is unrepentant, claiming they deter pilots from making low passes over his tractor”.

Quote from this week’s Farmers Weekly.

Anybody know the background to this incident, or the GPS co-ordinates of this nutter’s farm?
