I'd quite glad about this, seeing as we get the hunt down here, and I've never a more arrogant set of cunts. Blocking the road, then looking really miffed when you suggest they may want to let traffic past is a favourite. That or riding their horses across both lanes of the road so no one can overtake.
They get the horn, it's the only time I use it.
Anyway, from what I can gather here a gyrocopter has been buzzing the hunt. Good for them, as long they keep 500 feet up it's legal. For this guy to have been hit, he had to be walking around on an active airfield. Now to walk around an active airfield, even if it looks quiet, and think you're safe, requires either huge arrogance or a similar dose of stupidity.
Instant death would probably require him being hit in the head by the rotors. In the case of a gyro that would mean him walking towards, or getting in the way of, a moving aircraft.
Best kept out of the gene pool. Hope the pilot doesn't get too much trouble out of it. |

Very mixed bag here, I can see it from both sides.
Don't go interfering with peoples hobbies, by flying low with a gyrocopter to piss them off. Just because you are untouchable from the sky. Horses can't cope with cars at the best of times, so what is a gyro going to do to their heads. Just live and let live.
I havent a problem with the hunt personally, but i've been living in the area of upper class flat caps, equestrian pursuits, shooting and hunting for a few years now so you get used to it.
You don't like the idea of the hunt. Deal with it. The "think of the kittens" brigade need to get a hobby and mind their own business.
But then it takes a special kind of idiot to go stomping down a runway where somebody is playing with a thing with spinning rotors. It's obvious to me, having had aviation safety drummed into me over a number of years, but not to everyone perhaps.
Wasteful way to go over something so trivial. ____________________ So in other words, he stopped you for being flagrantly in posession of a motorcycle in direct contravention of the Hippies, Darkies and People Whose Face I Don't Like The Look of (Police Powers) Act. 1976 |
