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.

Still in darkest Yorkshire I sure you could find some red deisel for you Twinstar !

The Jet A1 enforcement notice is aimed at helicopter traffic.

However, with these comments, I doubt we've heard the last of this...

A victory for everyone? Result!

Bagby is a nice place as it is, not sure about the expansion/ hotel issue though.

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.

I'm Phil Lassey is very pleased:ok:

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.

So is Steve Hoyle happy or still miserable?

He's his usual self.;)

Reading the local press I hear there has been another debate about the fuel bowser by the council and the dear local residents.

I think the current beef is about the taxyway to the Avgas pumps being a foot wider than they would like. It would make it easier for a 737 to get to the pumps.

More problems for Mr Happy
 

Just when they thought things had gone quiet.

For the record. NOT a Bagby based aircraft.

Would have fitted recent Emmerdale plot lines?

Is this the 'tip of the iceberg' or just an isolated event?

There must be a pretty well organised trade with light aircraft?

I hear Mr Happy has departed Bagby and a more attractive replacement has been installed!!;)

Any news on Bagby, is the café open. Any news on aircraft maintenance?

I think they should re-name the airfield 'James Herriot Airport'.
It is after all near Thirsk where the famous vet had his joint practice.

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.

In the days of Phil, the café was great even Sunday lunch was available.
