Unless the aircraft are breaking noise abatement procedures there’s not a lot of action that can be taken…

Actualy, you CAN’T break noise abatement procedures. Because they are not LAW. Only voluntary.
If you live in a village or anything larger, then 1000 feet (or glide clear rule) aplies. If you’re in the sticks, then it’s 500 feet. And no, you DON’T own the airspace above your house either.

Bottom line: You can do NOTHING (except move).

Nice shootin’!

The Yak 52…..is that how the gear stays when retracted? The nose wheel tyre is touching the belly skin.

Not quite. There’s a recess in the underside for the wheel…. Nice pics by the way…. even see me waving !

….Although the quality of this shot is crap, i wanted to put it up, as it is the 1st time 5 wingwalkers have flown at once, and also the 1st time coloured smoke has been used on a piston aircraft.

Err – not quite. The claim about being the first to use coloured smoke is out of date by 4 years.

I used coloured smoke in my display in 2003 in a Yak52…. and the last time I looked, a Yak52 is definitely a piston engined aircraft…..

Trust you’ll tell Guinot this, and their commentator who is making a mis-claimer about this fact!

Wasn’t advocating that any rules should be changed (if you read my post correctly)…

It just seemed “likely” that due to the spate of accidents in a very short space of time, all seemingly related to low level operations, it’s plausible that all aspects of this flight area may be looked into?

And I also heard from a reliable source that ground witnesses (pilots) also saw the event (unfortunately) sounded remarkably like the press story…. so whilst I do generally take the press with a pinch of salt… in this instance…. maybe they weren’t far off. (And by the way, my post didn’t make any judgement at all).

Really bad month as you say – not to mention the T67 in Suffolk also.
Don’t know the circumstances of the ’52 problem, but the T67 was reportedly doing low level aeros for friends/family (says the press).
Is it time rules were tightened up on low level stuff without sufficient training and testing for currency (aka Display Authorisations)? What do others think?

Who are you, a Policeman?

Why? Do you have a guilty conscience???

I fly myself. Anything with wings usually.
Tigers to Spits and most things in between, along with a few one-offs, twitchy single seat taildraggers just to keep the fingers and toes busy!

Yes…!

Unless you fly under them with 500′ clearance then, No!
Might need a submarine though…
