About time!

Surely this is simply a way of paying off the RAF for extra bother put on safe aviation and all who defend her.

I know of several airfields in the UK whereby AC cannot take a certain SID any more or take a deconfliction service when necessary due to proximity of windfarms (one particular windfarm some 15 miles from a very busy training airfield that is located about 25 miles inland!).

Why put wind farms in the way and compensate our loss of capability and safety? Surely the CAA and MOD can have something to say about it or are they just magpies for a quick payoff?
