Its nothing new and the report does state..

This has led to some well
thought out local policing plans, involving special branch and other police
offi cers working together and with local communities. There is real cooperation from pilots of all kinds of aircraft and owners/operators of airfields
of all sizes.

150. The business and private aviation sector continues to respond well
to such threat as terrorism presents to them. The operators of airfi elds to
which volume business and general aviation fly are well aware of terrorism
concerns.
But no doubt this detracts from a good story about light aircraft raining down from the sky like Tora Tora Tora so the BBC neglected to include it in their report.

As stated, there is absolutely no intelligence that demonstrates attack using light aircraft, christ they could disguise themselves as a BBC news crew and infiltrate the Commons with news cameras packed full of explosives!! But thats just sensationalist

Shame there does not appear to be a 'comments' section on the bottom of the BBC page.
