Cornwall ahhh a beautiful area which I know well having been married to a Cornish Girl.
I also used to fly a twin into a disused airfield called Davidstowe.
The reason was a building company needed to get management in on a regular basis to inspect the construction of a large factory.
Often the cloud was very low and I would do a very low pass over the runway to make sure there were no animals on the very short usable bit of runway remaining before landing the twin.
The amount of times I had people with chains dangling around their necks and smoking grass complaining was ridiculous.
The microlight club owner would call them Cornish Carrot Crunchers. The Cornish are unique in being quite isolated people but lovely too.
They resent the constant invasion of Emmits and oppose any development which will upset their meditational peace.
Are you really sure the events were as dramatic as you portray.
If so a visit to the Microlight club where they live may achieve something as most are sensitive about upsetting the locals me too even the Cornish Carrot Crunchers!!!
