NUISANCE'in ENGLAND
# VILLAGERS PROTEST The. popularity of flying has spread so rapidly in England that complaints are beginning to come in concerning the “nuisance” caused by flying planes on Sunday. Recently the villagers of Egliam sent in a protest to the Air Ministry, the Chief Constable and the local flying field, asking that the practice of Sunday flights be stopped. One of the protestants alleged that planes flev/ at a height of 50 feet above his cottage and that he found the experience nerve-wracking. A local authority, however, pointed out to the perturbed villagers that more deaths were caused by automobile accidents than from accidents, in the air and that there was, therefore, no cause for alarm.
