Thankyou to everyone who has sent a note with their details .....every single one that arrives helps ..... So I ask the question ...
If you haven't bothered to send a note it must be for a reason ( apart from just being completely un interested and lazy !!)
If you have NOT supported the airfield would you say here why not ? It would be interesting and only fair to hear your reason for refusing to take 1 minute out of your day to send an email which could save an airfield ......as I said earlier the added benefit of a lot of ppruners sending messages is that I will refrain from my habit of winding up the likes of TC and Bravo ( you two are v quiet about this !!)
In future ........
Keep up the good work ........Nigel

I quite understand now why Silsoe couldn't give a damn , understandable really as this doesn't effect HIM ..... He flies for the police in the W Midlands and therefore really has no interest in GA . In that case Sils don't ever come on here and complain about PAS or any other Police flying matter as quite frankly the rest of us don't care I think you may be more sympathetic if you lost your job and had to do pax work cross country rather than hovering over the Bull Ring !!!!!! I just KNEW what type you were ....... Funny that .

SillySod must be bored again, I wonder if he ever manages to leave EGBB without being fire bombed He clearly knows absolutely nothing of the situation at Bagby and I'll wager has not been there,

Is this really as we are being told according to nigelh?

well actually there there is a lot more to it and it all probably stems from a pair of nimby's moving into Thirkleby some years ago. [I think nimby's ought to require planning permission to move to an area where there are a number of active military airfields]. Curiously, these complainers do not complain about the noise of military aircraft using the LL route through the CMATZ which is so close to them.

Best Wishes

there is always one isn't there ! :roll eyes: well done Silsoe you didn't let me down .....why don't you just go there and speak to the people flying out of Bagby ? Why not find out the true story ?

Yes there is always one nigel.
If you came on here and asked us to vote for your sisters, cousins, uncles, nephews, Chihuahua that was doing a turn on X Factor, I'm sure a lot of us would spend 50p and give it a vote. However when dealing with local politics and asking us to support your side, I for one would like to know 'what is what'.

Please do tell us the true story. The way I see it at the moment is that there has been a long history of a breach of planning regulations. If however that is not the case, I will be more than happy to give you my support.

mrbonkers;

The local residents have even complained about the 'noisy' Air Ambulance that was based there - forcing it to move elsewhere.

Are you sure about that?
...or is the true story that YAA had the wool pulled over their eyes by being promised buildings etc to operate from, yet later found out that planning permission wasn't in place to be able to offer them?
Rather than get involved with the muddied local politics going on there and any potential repercussions resulting from them, they then pulled out !


Just to show how things are being manipulated;

Plea to save air ambulance base (From York Press)

A GIRL whose life was saved by the Yorkshire Air Ambulance has appealed for a re-think after councillors launched enforcement action at the service’s only base in North Yorkshire.

Charlotte Leighton, 16, who was flown to hospital with horrific injuries after a road accident in 2006, in Tollerton, ten miles from Bagby, said the air ambulance’s rapid response had saved her life and called for a re-think.

Her father, Colin, said: “Response times are critical and if you can knock five or ten minutes off a journey that is critical. This decision would appear to be a bit pig-headed.”

The fact that the YAA's move out of Bagby to Topcliffe placed the aircraft closer to Tollerton has been conveniently ignored

Bagby airfield was there before the village population arrived.

And here's me thinking the Domesday book was written before 1903 :roll eyes:

SillySod must be bored again, I wonder if he ever manages to leave EGBB without being fire bombed He clearly knows absolutely nothing of the situation at Bagby and I'll wager has not been there,

That's why I have asked nigel to enlighten us.

Are the airfield changes and operations within the planning permissions given? In other words, will we be supporting a legal cause or are we trying to bully our way into getting the airfield as we want it and used more than the expired permission of 40 take offs/landings a week (5/day)

Just on the basic ac movements issue, nigelh tells us in the first post; "New residents who bought in the full knowledge of the airport are complaining of the noise of maybe half a dozen movements a day."

A search by the solicitors when buying a house in the area would find that aircraft were not allowed to operate from Bagby anymore as the planning permission had expired. It's quite clear that even despite the permission not existing anymore, 12 a day is more than twice the number that the airfield used to have permission for.


I am more than happy to support Bagby, but I wouldn't like to think i am having the wool pulled over my eyes.

Not at all, far from it. I do care about issues like this, all I am asking is the common courtesy from you of being told the full story before I put my name to a cause. Who knows with NPAS kicking in, chances are I could easily even more than now, find myself at an airfield such as Bagby with a severe need of a suck of gas and a bacon bap.

Sils don't ever come on here and complain about PAS or any other Police flying matter as quite frankly the rest of us don't care

That's why it's on its own thread with 20,700+ views
And by the way, just to get the record straight, I have and have never had any complaints whatsoever with PAS.

I feel like the schoolteacher dealing with a bunch of primary school kids when a thread degenerates like this

Either get back to the topic and stop squabbling or I'll wrap your knuckles with a very big ruler
