Thanks to you all.

I'm afraid it is an issue that is between Mr C and myself so cannot be disclosed.

It is possible that said aircraft is presently on ground at South-end.;)

I have left you another PM

This is like one of those books you can't put down.......

I'm agog with anticipation at the outcome. Looks though as if this might be some time coming.

What if we club together and offer say 30 litres of Lager for any news?

Ooooooo the Agony!

Does this mean that Mr C gets the free fuel?!!!

I suppose you could say that !!!!

If the pilot of G-CBME reads this perhaps you could PM me as soon as possible.

...and before that it was working us whilst stirring up anti GA feelings in south London.

It on photography work, probably that old game of taking photos of peoples houses then going around a few days later trying to flog them to the house owner.

This type of operation causes us significant grief from noise complaints and general abuse from the public. Unfortunately it is not illegal as far as I am aware provided Rule 5 is obeyed.

That apart it is probably the worst advert GA can get and gives us a very bad image :}

Well according to its accounts at Companies House, Skytrax Avaition's only assets are 'Photographic Equipment' so your comments seem to be spot on.

It appears from this thread, that G-CBME and its connections, have managed to annoy more people than just those on the ground, when its taking piccies! :(

SATCO

Where did you get that quote from, another thread?

Hi Mono. I think SATCO took the quote from the post above his before it was edited. He must have edited that bit out of his original post.

Sorry to cause confusion but I felt I had to edit my original post for reason I'll explain in PM only.

There's no way that any NIMBYism is creeping in here is there?

Nah. Pilots wouldn't be NIMBYs shirley... :rolleyes: :8

Hey Strake

I'd be interested in a PM to see if your experience is the same as mine....

Nah!.......I just want to continue flying without giving the anti brigade any more reasons to complain to their local politicians about how environmentally unfriendly flying is.

:uhoh:

I saw one of their C-172 spending over 30 mins at a low level over my home town. My enquiries (to local airfields to see if they knew them) came to nought. Came very close to contacting CAA. Have no wish to do that, but don't want one or two irresponsible pilots unsetting the applecart for all the good ones.

I thought I would finish this thread off neatly by posting the final outcome.

G-CBME has finished his low level extended photo sorties over my area (for the time being). I have now returned to quiet evenings at home without irate locals phoning me up asking "what the hell were you doing over the town today".

Sadly, it has not ALL been a happy ending.

Some of you will remember my thread about my annoyance when my wife bought an aerial photo of our house from a door to door salesman.

You guessed it.......it turns out she bought it from the owner of G-CBME. He had the last laugh:{

PAHH

Mwapp Mwapp Mwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

I think this very public saga will be over when the man from Gatwick goes round to see this chap's CPL.

Or to ask why his reg is is not "conspicuous".

Sir George - A fine and erudite answer. May I be so bold as to add a BOOM, TISH?

Odd how these things happen, the old idea that we were merely playthings of the gods, pushed hither and thither for their amusement, often seems to ring true even in the 21st century.
