On Thursday 21 June, this week, under cover of darkness, a crop plane buzzed the village 'for hours' reported a resident who lives only a few houses away from the Northern edge of the village.
A professional pilot has stated that this is 'VERY DANGEROUS', as the pilot when flying low could crash into a tree or obstacle and kill himself and people on the ground.
In addition it is illegal to fly over a residential area without lodging a flight plan, and anyone doing so under cover of darkness if caught would automatically lose thier pilots licence.
But hey! there are fruitflies in the village! And if Jurgen photographs planes flying over the village spraying in daylight, then the fruitflies must be got by other means! N'est pas?
BUT SURELY
If safety guidelines, the law, interdicts and court orders are being adhered to, there is no need for clandestine spraying?
I think we should be told!
Will the pilot in question please own up and attach a post explaining what were doubtless perfectly reasonable activities.

These are some of the chemicals that we have been sprayed with over the past 3 years :
Acrobat
Bozinman
Citrex
Copsul
Demildex
Dicarzol
Dichlorvos
Dithane
Dursban
Folpan
Flint
Glucomag
Kno3
Legend
Melody
Milraz
Prospur
Penconazole
Ripen It
Roundup
Rubigan
Roval Aquaflo
Stroby
Teldor
Thiovit
Thioflo
Tracer
For each of the above , we have a written notification from Morester Boerdery - in other words they have in writing told us that they will be spraying the above .
A few of the above are class 1b , which , according to the Dept of Agriculture and World Health Organisation , means that they are HIGHLY HAZARDOUS
Many of them are also on international Carcinogen lists .
None of them are designed to be sprayed into a residential area , where they will come into contact with people and be breathed in by people .
All of them will have negative health effects and all of them are certainly a lot more harmful than salt or sugar .
We have the choice as to what we want to eat and consume - yet in this instance Morester Boerdery are not giving any of us a choice as to whether or not we actually want to be sprayed with the pesticides that they choose to spray us with .
