Here's the Bolt Head website.
Bolt Head Airfield |
Like a lot of places, they only exist by keeping the neighbours placated, this ties in neatly with the 'why PPR' thread elsewhere. Hardly a nutter's website!
Good airmanship dictates that flight within the traffic pattern of an aerodrome be avoided unless intending to land there. In this case, this is only possible by prior permission. The OP wasn't objecting to the aircraft flying low over the sea, but flying too close to their aerodrome and upsetting the neighbours ( and potentially coming into conflict with local traffic without ascertaining via the radio if there was any such).
I would suggest that flight below 2,000' and within 2NM of ALL aerodromes on the 1/2 mil chart be avoided unless prior contact with them has been made.
