I dont wish to flame the same threads on every forum, BUT......
if you havent seen it, please check out
www.flyer.co.uk
in the GA discussion forum, thread "I Dont Believe It".
Essentially a supposed private pilot has publicly attacked local council permission to allow Sherlow strip operations to continue. Furthermore, he has misinformed the public re: aerobatic operations, inferring that the pilots there are not competent and the aircraft not suitable.
From a response further in the thread, he does appear to be a bona fide PPL. What a plonker !!!!!
web addresses of the newspaper involved, and email contacts are all on the thread. Just check it out to see what one of our own has done for GA (not). I'm very sad.
