I was appalled to receive THT's letter today - what sick idiot could have made such threats?

Interestingly, the idiot uses phrases such as 'the flying of model aeroplanes', 'the aerodrome' and 'model fliers'. This indicates a level of 'expertise' one would not normally expect from someone averse to aeromodellers' activities; I would have expected the use of denigrating words such as 'toy plane' from someone who dislikes aeromodellers in the way this idiot appears to. Also, the standard of English is surprisingly good.

To me this indicates that the writer of these letters is a calculating, dangerously unbalanced individual. He needs to be tracked down and prosecuted with the utmost urgency.

The SVAS website indicates that there's a 'Festival of Flight Aermodel Weekend' coming up in a couple of weeks time (12/13 September), so let's all go and show our full support for the aeromodellers and our utter contempt for the activities of this twisted idiot.
