"I have seen so very few
attempts to establish any sort of dialogue with those at the local level who have the

Safeguarding is Vital
"We live in a society where the pressure for development is growing...and planning
has got to accommodate all these pressures. You cannot guarantee that your airfield will
have any say unless you've clearly highlighted your airspace needs well in advance" |

"I do not consider that as a pilot I have a special right to fly around in a noisy
aircraft annoying people on the ground" [Ivan Shaw] |

Ogilvy left the audience with the question "How much longer can GA survive on the
defensive?" |
