Flying high at Little Staughton

I always said that this Forum had gone to pot!

I’ll get me coat:D

10/10 for thread title!:D

Does anyone recall when a Cessna landed at Bruntinghorpe carrying drugs? I was living in Gilmorton at the time, and remember seeing the Cessna land, and hearing police sirens on their way to the airfield.

I paid attention as it’s not often a light aero lands at Bruntingthorpe, and we read about it in the paper in the week following!

It must be a bit of a kick in the teeth for the locals, having this happen under their noses.

Scott.

Maybe next time they’ll set up at Gransden and reactivate the FIDO to heat the greenhouses….:p

Hmm.. sadly not the first time the Police have taken an interest in activities there. I’m sure a stolen vehicle / car ringing operation was uncovered there, and previous to that there was a case of illegal immigrants arriving / departing by light aircraft.

We had an industrial unit there for 2 or 3 years and there was a great deal of police activity at the time related to illegal immigration and at least two “snatches”.
