To paraphrase a certain Welsh comic, I was there on Saturday and unfortunately most of what agent.mulder is true. There was nothing wrong with the air racing - although how the CAA can exempt this activity with the low flying rule escapes logic - but the preparations made by Billy Pickles left much to be desired.
He should be down on his knees thanking the Big Air Traffic Controller that there were no serious incidents on the airfield last weekend. The risk he ran was incredibly high and Billy should be thankful the CAA didn't see what he was up. Unless of course they did and are even now preparing action against him.
In the meantime call him up, on 01286 830800, and ask for a pleasure flight and listen to the excuses. The website claims these flights are 'off' because of the foot-and-mouth crisis. The airfield was in an infected area but isn't now and the flights go nowhere near the infected farms in South-west Anglesey. The air races at the weekend did so, and at about 500ft AGL (or less). What's the big deal?
Could it be that Billy doesn't have an AOC? Has been told to 'cease and desist' and can't take the shame of having to admit to being wrong?
I'm sure we'll hear more about Silly Billy and his Pickles before long.
