Got A Life
Accusations / Troublemakers (transponders on)
Robert feal-Martinez, The former Landlord of this pub Carpenters Arms, South Marston printed in the readers comments section of the local paper that his neighbour informed him of an aircraft flying dangerously at 350ft at 3pm January 7th 2012 (when this picture was taken)
The landlord claimed military targetting binoculars were used to determine the height the aircraft was operating at and the alleged incident was to be reported to The CAA the following Monday.
I was operating at 2000ft with a radar service and mode C transponder in operation. Something for all pilots & aerial photographers to bear in mind.

Only one other aircraft was in the vincinity at the time at approx 1500ft.
Mind you, the same landlord also insisted the car park was not empty when this picture was taken
Amazingly the same landlord has since claimed, on the Swindon Advertiser website, that UKIP want him as a candidate for the local election. He could even become the spokesman for the local UKIP.
His name did not appear on the council nominations list.
