Rumour has it (well, this is a rumour network) that this John Arthur Jones character is the sole local resident complaining, and has corralled a few easily-led types to sign up. The residents in the local village have always been supportive of the RAF, even during night-flying season. They are also very aware that flying is far less intensive than in previous decades, and far less invasive nowadays due to double glazing.

Google etc will reveal that Mr John Arthur Jones has enjoyed a "colourful" past, predominantly less than above board. One well reported trend was turning down multiple planning applications from local residents while approving his own very non-traditional home and holiday log cabins, allegedly all while he was in charge of the Anglesey Planning Department. For information, his property is on the approach of runway 22, should you wish to carry out a max-rate climb-out to avoid it. 😉

The 'claim for damages' appears to be a bit of smoke-and-mirrors. Probably heard that action was going to be taken against himself and decided to try and get in first.

With regard to alleged endangerment of aircraft by trying to blind aircrew, I firmly believe a long stretch of custodial time would be an appropriate punishment. In this case in particular, the longer the better.
