    sadly the local constabulary would have trouble catching a cold, they think that flying is just for rich kids who can afford to lose the odd bob every now and then . Any airfield in the uk could be subject to such random attacks by such pond life as they are usually empty at night so it is down to each of us to keep an eye out for undesireables eyeballing the place in day light. I do hope that if and when these fellows are caught that each individual who has suffered at their hands recently carry out a private prosecution to get compensation as the police (CPS) will only do the absolute minimum which will inevitably end up with the pond life being given a spanked wrist and probably no jail time as the jails are full and the judges will only give jail time to murderers or the like.

    an interesting thought but since the new government have identified all health and safety officers as working against the future recovery of the uk with any luck we will have a new sport at the olypics called tar and feather H+S officers.

    the biggest mistake made with the flypast a/c was putting it on the uk register under current caa policy anyone with a twin or even large single needs to have their head read if they stay with the CAA.
    I have flown the b206 N181WW many times and have helped maintain it for many years so know the enormity of the work involved in keeping it airworthy if you then have to maintain it according to CAA requirements it would be far cheaper to operate a small airliner.
    However I know of two large sources of spare parts. engine parts are easy, series 1 props are rarer than hens teeth but there are only 2 new and 1 damaged in existance, hence the us plane which has been for sale for some years.
