Attention Military Helo Jockeys!
Now though I would give generously of my body parts to be with you and your machines - some of you are playing wargames over farmland near Waddesdon and THIS WILL NOT DO!:*
Please keep higher alt., and lower pwr setting, especially if you can see animals - I might be under one of them. Either that or I'm investing in a cow turd launcher. :ok: |
What on earth would you be doing under a cow? You do realise that it is ileagal
|
Here we go again... Shades of poor old Mig15 and his nervous missus here.
Now :mad: Off and take your whinges somewhere else. Or we'll report you to the the RSPCA.:( |
Could we have a more accurate location, please? Just so it can be avoided, you understand.:}

It might be an improvement on the smell coming from the inside?:) |

Have you ever flown in to Sangin by the way? |
especially if you can see animals - I might be under one of them 1. You are Daisy the Cow and Billy the Bull is on top giving you one. Congratulations - a cow that can type :D 2. You are Farmer Giles and you are underneath Daisy getting your pinta draught :confused: 3. You are a sick person and you are underneath Billy the Bull giving him a b*** j**. :mad: |
God, the replies above p1ss me off. Although this guy could have put his complaint over in a nicer manner, the replies are typical of the 'We know best and what we do is more imortant than what you do' attitude that has pervaded PPRuNe for a while now. If one is tending a large and potentially dangerous farm animal, the last thing that is helpful is to have a rotary mate nearby. It doesn't mean that it is wrong for the helo to be there but nor is it wrong for a farmer to be looking after his stock. Instead of lambasting a fellow citizen who is also trying to earn his bread, why not sympathise and offer some help?
FlyGooseFly, if you have vulnerable breeding stock or a particular time of year when you would be grateful for fewer overflights, then call a RAF station and ask for the Corporate Communications Officer. Explain the problem and suggest a solution. Be polite and emphasise how much you support the flying but that sometimes it is a real hazard to you and ask them to write to you with their answer. Follow up up the call with a letter to the Station Commander which summarises the problem and the phone call and asking for his assistance. Fellow PPRuNers. Take a deep breath and get over yourselves for heaven's sake. There is a world out there where people do entirely different jobs to you and we need to be able to operate in tandem to them not in opposition. |
RM,
Whilst I support your sentiment, I think that it is you who needs to back off and cool down. Prune sites across the board have a reasonable chance of not being known as serious mediums for rational thinking or comment. Methinks that this is a windup - I don't know any farmer who would go to this sort of forum and expect results. GAGS E86 |
I don't think its a wind up, flying farmers are one of the largest groups in UK GA, as they have plenty of space to put in a strip of their own.
I also don't think that his request was too harsh, it actually has an element of thin humour shared by the infantry (Farmer with a shovel is not much different to an infanteer without the shooting ;) ) 14 years since I became a civvy, and I didn't know that we were producing such a snesitive group of souls in these days..:E |
Avoid the farm and come to Mid Devon 'lower' instead. I promise i won't moan.

You are going to have a heart attack if you are not careful mate := |

I wonder if FGF has bought his 'turd chucker' yet? :D

Maybe we can take a couple of mess cannons down and see if one of them works as a pat-slinger.......
Wait, this gives me and idea:E :E :E |

Could be worse, instead of flygoosefly, he could have signed in as squealpiggysqueal. You don't want to go down in his field :eek:

Do that but bear in mind that, despite our protestations of working long hours, most farmers work significantly longer for 365/365 and few earn anywhere near as much as you. Also remember please that farmers/landowners consent is critical to our training requirements. We p1ss them off and our training areas/DZs/HLSs etc could suddenly become less available. |
