GA The "Terrorism Act" and Big Brother!
Today I received a letter from the Ports unit of Cheshire Police, reminding me of the requirement under the Terrorism Act to seek"Authority to fly to and from the common travel area" from non designated airfields. The letter goes on to recommend that if travelling to or from a "non designated airfield "in Cheshire that I submit a "Flight notification" to the Cheshire Police Ports Unit.This I understand the need for.However attached to the letter is a proforma asking for information about my aircraft,ie. where it is kept ,including OS grid reference,any road access and strangest of all its "concealment potential".
I understand the need for the flight notification but not the information asked for in the proforma.Do other police forces in the UK ask for this kind of info?
Seems rather Big Brother to me.
