Booker Shooting
 

Has anybody heard a rumour that a helicopter was shot at about a week ago, somewhere near Wycombe Air Park? I believe the police have arrested one person. If so, well done Thames Valley Police, but a worrying turn of events.

Someone must have heard that Leon's name was put forward on the thread about a TV presenter/helicopter pilot :E a few weeks back.......................


And decided to take matters in hand ...........to spare us all !!!!:}

I thought it went on all the time at Booker; there's a clay pigeon club on the north west corner of the airfield!

This was someone from the noise sensitive area who put a round through the stabiliser. Leon is getting missiles fitted.......:E

The cops must have just asked the local gunsmith if anyone had been in to buy a silencer

Noise sensitive and psychopathic what a terrible combination. Another fool spoiling it for everyone. This must result in a jail sentence.

Should I sit on my helmet from the Golden Ball to Xray ?:eek:

Please tell me it was this idiot:ok:

Helicopter Noise Coalition - Home

Interesting poll numbers now:D

You sure he wasn't just shooting at those pesky squirrels ! ;)

Need Money

Would that be twin or single????:D
HT:ok:

bloody 'ell, someone better slip round real quick and make sure me ol' mate nigelh is all ok.

Joking apart guys and girls, this is kind of serious.
I believe (just a rumour), that the person arrested was something to do with an anti noise coalition against Wycombe Air Park.
Did the moron not think that if the helicopter crashed (due to the pilot being shot) it just might be on top of somebody completely innocent?
If nobody is prosecuted, what kind of message does that send out to the anti everything league?

There is enough on the telly these days as it is that make me throw up without any additional assistance!

The incident is under the control of the Thames Valley Police. They will make an announcement once their investigations are complete. It is important to realise that the matter is being taken very seriously and could carry a life sentence. And just in case you're interested, A109C now sporting two bullet wounds, from a high powered rifle.

There is a silver lining to any cloud. Hopefully the actions of this criminal idiot will now make locals think twice about how they associate with the anti-noise lobby.

OK my apologies for the joke - and I understand A109 now NOT sporting any holes...was all fixed asap

Noise stats
 

I see that 69.1% of voters haven't had a noise event. You don't think that people from this forum would go onto the site and vote that way do you??:E

Fabulous, even legendary journalistic nonsense-expression, isn't it?

To the media, rifles are always "high powered", aren't they?

Anyone ever seen a press report of a "Low powered rifle"? After all, no one here uses pipsqueak little pop-guns like .22s, do they?

Pavlov rules, OK?

(Let's face it, they'd be reported as "bullet holes from a high-powered rifle" even if they'd been made by an air gun or a catapult!)

I'd suggest police plant some covert agent into the group.
This is getting serious. People shooting at aircraft? That's terrorism.
Don't we have some first-hand experience of doing so in the past?
USA should show the UK police how THEY TREAT such cases.

Joking OK if nobody hurt, but could have been.

That :mad: doesn't realise if he (or she?? to be equal gender opportunities to be violent psycho) actually made the chopper enter some emergency procedure he in theory might see his big yard as the only possible auto/emergency landing spot and thrash his house? Or his family's.

We are always looking for new areas to test the miniguns.......:E

With all the gazillion hours of flying by helicopters in the UK and one takes two hits....what's the beef about? It is a very remote chance of occurrence is it not?:E
