Calling all flyers !!!

CALLING ALL FLYERS !!

YOUR HELP IS NEEDED

Some of you may be aware that the Loch Lomond National Park is trying to ban seaplanes. They have started a public consultation to seek views on the matter.

The Seaplane Association has a website which gives full details on how to participate in this public consultation. It also outlines the sheer hypocrisy and discrimination of the National Park. Please please go to

www.seaplaneassociation.org.uk

for more details.

Please please take the time and put in a submission.

Priorities? There are 4 seaplanes in the whole of Scotland, yet there are over 5400 boats on Loch Lomond. Many of the boat engines discharge diesel directly into the loch, and many of the boats dump sewerage into the loch. Seaplanes leave no trace of their visit and are used worldwide by environmental agencies for that exact reason. The National Park are picking on aviation as an easy target.

How long until the vocal anti-seaplane mob turn their sights on anyone flying over or through the National Park ? Make no mistake, this is the thin end of a very thick wedge, and if we don’t fight and defeat this first attempt, then every flyer may well have a bigger battle to fight in the future.

We look forward to hearing from you and gaining your support.

Me too... The MSP's seemed very helpful with their replies. Especially as I am a sassenach
Much better than our faceless local MP's south of the border!
