Officialdom in action.....
A few years back, about 30 gliders flying in a regional competition from Husbands Bosworth, struggling to round a turning point at Atherstone,got low and ended up landing in a nice big pasture. As sometimes happens, this got some locals all excited, and the police were notified, so they sent the emergency services to the site of the "crash".
The Director of the competition was somewhat nonplussed when he had a call from the Atherstone chief of police. Said the lawman, "The next time you intend 30 gliders landing in a field in my jurisdition, we will require 24 hours notice in advance...."
Thats how they think.
