The PMs office have responded to the petition concerning GA flying at Kemble, here.[click]
What I don’t understand is the use of the word “Unauthorised”. It beggers the question, what do they mean by “unauthorised”? Surely authorised flying is the only flying Kemble allow from the airfield anyway?

If you have been following the developments in this story you’ll see that the “unauthorised” comment is likely pointing at the airfield’s permitted use under its planning permission. Which strangely enough seems care and maintenance, not an active airfield.
One thought: If Kemble has been in use as an active airfield for at least ten years, will it be possible to apply for a Lawful Development Certificate?

I was thinking it might mean some sort of ban on birds, bats and flying squirrels!!!! Since when did they get a PPL, or any kind of certificate of airworthiness for that matter? And they’re always night flying without lights!

What puzzles me is that in one line Cotswold District council wish to stop flying, i.e. flying in total and yet in another only unauthorized flying which I guess is whatever flying they at some point in the future consider as unauthorized.
In all, worrying.
