I wonder if the next time the sabs 'buzz' a hunt, if the hunters will resort of anti-aircraft fire?

Well that's what happens when you approach an aircraft with rota blades. This will end up as a not guilty and a big compo payout.

I eagerly await the details of what led up to the killing: Could that gyro legally 'buzz' the hunt?

Weren't there compaints filed pretaining to the gryo's use before the killing?

Looks like we'll be waiting to march to get to business, though.

The facts remain that the hunt scum drove to the airfield were he approached the craft while it was on the ground. Cut and dry, this is just NETCU politics. This isn't disputed by either side...

Why are they calling this murder? Isn't there a tape on this event? I heard there was as the anti hunt person was filming at the time. So he veered into the hunt supporter & whacked off his head on purpose?


From Coventry Evening Telegraph
Protestor filmed hunt supporter's death, court told

Mar 13 2009 by Michael Corley, Coventry Telegraph

THE FINAL moments of a hunt supporter who was nearly decapitated by an aircraft’s propellers were filmed by an animal rights campaigner.

Details about the grim footage were revealed as anti-hunt protester Bryan Griffiths, of Wiltshire Close, Bedworth, appeared before magistrates in Nuneaton yesterday, charged with the murder of Trevor Morse.

Griffiths, a 54-year-old heating engineer, is accused of killing Mr Morse in the incident at Long Marston airfield, near Stratford, last Monday.

His gyrocopter – a privately-owned aircraft similar to a small helicopter – had landed to refuel after being used to monitor a hunt in south Warwickshire.

Hunt monitors often use videos and cameras to make sure hunts are acting within the law.

The court heard yesterday Mr Morse, aged 48, a self-employed gardener from Alderminster, near Stratford, died almost instantly after being struck by a blade of the gyrocoptor, which was being controlled by Griffiths.
A volunteer marshall and committee member of the Warwickshire Hunt, Mr Morse was known to regularly help with the smooth running of hunts.

It’s thought he had been watching the Warwickshire Hunt when the tragedy happened.

Mr Morse, who lived with his partner Caroline, was described by Warwickshire Hunt master Sam Butler as a loving partner, son and brother.

Griffiths was remanded in custody and is due to appear at Warwick Crown Court on Monday March 23.

A second man, held on suspicion of murder, has been released on police bail pending further inquiries.

Working only with the info I've read(Which may very well leave out details), there seems to be some hint that the gyro in question was spooking some horses used by hunters. They complained about it to authorities.
I would like to hear the pilot's views of what he thought he was doing: was he intentally trying to provoke hunters? I don't know; but I think the concept at least needs to be brought up.

I'd be curious to hear what hunt sabs think of the event. I know what they've said about it at least two ARA sites...

The hunt scum drove to the air field and got in the way, good riddance to bad shit.

Well, now we know what sabs think. If those pilots thoughts were along the same lines, it'd be interesting to see what the court(Jury?) thinks if this is displayed...

Sorry; I overstepped my bounds a bit there.

We Know what ONE sab thinks. Didn't want to paint with too wide a brush....

Yawn

Breath mint?
