You dont see many farmers knocking around in old tractors do you? Most wouldnt be seen dead in last years Range Rover either.

Farmers are fricking loaded! Especially with the Euro handouts. As someone said earlier on in this thread.

flying farmers are one of the largest groups in UK GA
Utter paupers obviously.

If they do feel they are getting a bit skint, they flog off half an acre of land for a huge amount to a developer to build a gzillion houses on.

FlygooseFly should phone up the local stn as already advised and ask for an avoid to be slapped over his land. Failing that, buy some large dayglo jackets for his Heffers.

And who are you? The JPA pixie?
Never seen a farmer on a push bike. How's that?
And why is our airborne jiggery pokery any less important than matey boy's bovine twiddling?
I bet FlygooseFly wouldn't turn down a boozy lunch, free flight in a Chinny and an invite to the O's Summer Ball by way of compensation either?

You forgot all those farmers who have Mobile Phone masts dotted around on their land, some with three or more in one field.....assume they get loaded from the companies wishing to use the land....

You don't see the farmers on SPTA moan when their cows are standing right next to AS90's firing off rounds like they were during the demo's........ Farmer was sat watching them in his tractor enjoying himself waiting for his wife who came down in her nice new 'discovery' with fence posts in the trailor....

Yeah, right.

"Look, it's perfectly safe, you just sit down here on the ramp and we'll show you what your land looks like from the air. What's this? This is just the other end of your harness, I'll hang onto it if you like? Don't worry about the smell, someone threw a couple of turds at us last time we were down this way"

Thats clever.... I can see the headlines now....


"UTTERLY UTTERLY USELESS RAF JOCKS THREATEN TO THROW INNOCENT HARDWORKNG FARMER OUT OF A HELICOPTER".... AND HIS CRIME....?

He had the audacity to complain about extremely low flying helicopters frightening his animals and thereby threatening the production from his land and the loss of revenue and loss of produce to the public.


Yep, that should do the trick...That will get the public on our side and in favour of Low Flying

Whilst youre at it, tell them we'll eat his children, torch his farm then flush his missus down the bog!

If joe public want to believe this crap, they don't deserve to be defended.

I'm still trying to figure out how we got from 'wargaming' in post #1, to the assertion by vec that the RAF were responsible.

Still, if it takes the heat off someone else.........

Yes, here are the smilies, just for you.
