"has any thought it might even be a wind up ?"
Yes, but I rejected the idea.
"who is fly cumbria ?"
Don't forget many nimbies are actually aviators themselves. "I'm a fixed-wing chap really"They enjoy their own flying, but it's n.i.m.b.y. to anyone else.
"this guy .............. has a small helicopter (Enstrom, I think)"
How many people not involved in helicopters in some way know one make from another?
"From what he says, it seems like a Mi-2"
Really? I wonder what 'he' said that made it seem like a Mi-2?
How many fixed-wing pilots have even heard of an Mi-2, far less be able to say ' that seems like an Mi-2' from a description?
"even I know that you ain't gonna get one of those on an AOC..."
And how many private pilots know what an AOC is, far less have any idea whether it would be permitted on an AOC?
I am also informed by a regular contributor to Rotorheads that the proposal/application FlyCumbria describes is genuine.
And before zalt or anyone suggests these are just idle comments - when I make idle comments I make it clear they are. These are not.
"who is fly cumbria ?"
Someone involved with helicopters, I repeat in some way, who doesn't want the peace of country cottage disturbed by the sound of helicopters.
