And frankly, the locals were there first...
No, I am sorry Alfred-t-g. As a resident of Ewyas Harold it will only cut off a back road, going nowhere near any of our local towns (Hereford or Abergavenny). The vast majority of us will not be affected by its closure -surprised it has not happened earlier. And we coexist with the SAS quite happily thank you. The odd explosion and the movements of the AS365 Dauphins of 658 Sqn AAC are but the sound of freedom! And as a former Stn IntO at Odiham, when 7 Sqn pop in that is the icing on the cake!
We will continue to ignore the odd farmer who is anti - they must have something to moan about.
