Strange and shortsighted
Funny decision to stop the Jet A1 fuel storage as the least noisy aircraft now burn Jet A1, on the whole a bit of an own goal by the nimys.

The Jet A1 enforcement notice is aimed at helicopter traffic.
However, with these comments, I doubt we've heard the last of this...

Ms Lewis added that the jet fuel facility had an “unacceptable impact, principally through noise and disturbance” and must be removed within six months.
Airfield manager Steve Hoyle said the ruling meant the airfield’s future had been secured, alongside a plan to replace its permanent jet fuel facility with a mobile one.
Action 4 Refusal spokesman Stephen Hornsby said its drive to reduce activity at the airfield would continue.
He said: “I can’t imagine Hambleton District Council will tolerate the fact there is still no control over the number of flights at the airfield. What is clear is there is going to be no jet fuel facility, that’s a clear victory for the residents.”

It was never a hotel as such. Just single storey accommodation for overnighting crew.
As for the Jet A1 'victory'. An installation might require planning permission, but a bowser doesn't.
These people took over two parish councils and represent the views of 5 percent of the local population at best. They now have to justify squandering a large portion of community funds on a personal witch hunt.
The action group spokesman is a London based solicitor who owns a weekend cottage in the area. Nuff said.

We had problem with a weekend cottage owner who lived a considerable distance from the airfield who started to protest about the airfield.
As he was so far from the airfield we can't quite understand why as his lifestyle could not have been affected by the noise or aircraft continually flying over his property, so I think that he must of seen a business opertunity in driving us out of business, fortunately we proved to the local councelers that he was only in residence occasionally and they discounted his protests.
The problem with rich weekend cottage owners is that they want to retreat at the weekends to a rural theme park and use their money and influence to try to achive this, usually to the detriment of long time permanent residents. It is fortunate that some local authorities are now getting wise to these antics.

I’ve never come across anything resembling a cafe at Bagby, but refreshments usually available.
Regarding maintenance I have heard various rumours which I wouldn’t care to repeat here.
There’s at least one poster on here who would probably have further info and may contribute.
