A well known farmer living adjacent to a secret helicopter base in Shropshire was once silly enough to 'phone OC Ops to complain about night flying overflying his house.

I say "silly enough", because his rant included "... and if they don't stop I'll take my 12 bore to them!" or words to that effect.

Cue OC Ops 'phoning West Mercia's finest, who rapidly appear and relieve said farmer of weapons ...... and shred his firearms certificate.....

Result!
