I remember one of those NIMBY types when I was a lad doing glider flying out of South Cerney with the ATC
Turned out some local politician who was also an Ex Major complained about the noise.
He phoned us up and was mid rant when the CFI pointed out in the most polite of sarcastic terms that in the not too distant past,whilst his lot were on the beaches up to their waist in water, people learning to fly, out of local airfields, presumably annoying the locals, were preparing to save the country from Hitlers Luftwaffe
..His parting line of "and how much bloody noise does a glider make anyway" had us in stitches
