Ms K Lacey,

What I think irritated many of us was that you appeared to be 'using' the Biggin crash as an opportunity to vent your views on an issue that was only at a stretch really related...I mean the very rare occurrence of a jet crashing near houses (lets not forget that the last third party death, with the exception of a glider accident, caused by a plane was the Lockerbie bombing) out of a major airport and the problem of noise and alleged endangering of houses from a microlight strip.

That simply struck people as being a little distasteful.

Leaving that aside, are there any Redlands users who can comment on this?

Complaints about dangerous and inconsiderate flying should always be taken seriously and I hope we can give Ms Lacey a fair hearing. It was good of her to show up actually.
