speedmouse Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Jim, I don't know if you can help. On Sunday 3 March a powered para sail lifted from a field close to Abingdon airfield it was identifiable by its union flag sail. It flew around the airfield at times within a few hundred metres of the boundary and between 300 and 400 ft in height. The problem is it was witnessed by CFS and CAA visitors. Both teams have had a sense of humour failure. The CAA are discussing involving the Police and taking legal action ? I will prevent this. If you know him what I want in future is for him to phone the VGS on prior to him lifting so that we both know what he is doing or I cannot protect him. Hope all well with you. This email I recieved from the OC at abingdon who is a friend of mine does not make good reading .. Shame on you the pilot . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
