Mungo5, my comment was directed more toward the calibre of person found frequenting Derby airfield on a day to day basis, persuant to their ambitions of continuing the little prehistoric clan they have going on there.
Fantastic neighborhood, shame about some of the peeps there. Miserable, interbreeding lot
But yes, the same could be said for many of the local villagers who don't want a flying pocket rocket buzzing their rooftops every half hour. The difficulty is in the education, I think you will find. Many country folk don't want to give you the time of day for it, and would rather stay ignorant. Tickle their personal interests in some way, however, and you'll have a better argument when it comes to petition time.
Try to become that new guy who enjoys the peace and tranquility as much as the next man, get to know the people who may decide the fate of your endeavour. Endear them to the idea, be honest about your plans. Become known for being reliable.
