Wind turbine

I think it unlikely too, and yet there is a nagging doubt at the back of my mind.

From the CAA document I referenced previously

"It is recognised that aircraft wake vortices can be hazardous to other aircraft, and that
wind turbines produce wakes of similar, but not identical, characteristics to aircraft.
Although there are independent bodies of knowledge for both of the above, currently,
there is no known method of linking the two. Published research shows
measurements at 16 rotor diameters downstream of the wind turbine indicating that
turbulence effects are still noticeable"
