At our airfield we had a local that complained about the Tiger Moth flying over his house. The Tiger Moth very rarely ever follows the same flight path so in reality he was probably only flown over once or maybe twice a weekend.

He turned up one weekend and was using his phone to take closeup photos of the pilots, employeed and customers in the office, so he was upsetting customers. Once of the local pilots challenged him doing it and the complainant punched him in the face. No charges were laid however I don't believe he has complained since.

It's disappointing when complainants believe that they need to take it to the next level like this guy did.
