Oh dear!

I would liked to think that Ms Lacey was a person with genuine issues with Redlands Airfield and perhaps with good will on both sides an agreement could be reached. The sad fact is 99% of the issues that Ms Lacey has flagged up to the local council have been pure fiction.

A quick search on the internet will tell you that on one occasion some time back Ms Lacey accused a pilot of flying over her house at 30 feet this was investigated by the local council who found that the aircraft in question had not left the ground that day due to bad weather.

There is very little you can do to reason with people who live in a world of thear own making, it is quite clear in this case that Ms Lacey sees nothing wrong with using the deaths of a number of people in this tragic accident to futher her own ends despite the fact that the accident has not the slightest connection with her issues about Redlands.

As pilots we often think that we are on the wrong end of the thinking in the local council chamber but in this case the council has weighed the evidence and local opinion and come to the view that Ms Lacey's alligations hold little water.
This is a small victory for local democracy but as you might expect Ms Lacey is also now accusing the council of malpractice!
