I was appalled at the people walking around among aircraft with engines running. I also spoke to a bunch of weight-shift thugs about the blatant disregard for the regulations about smoking among aircraft. I got a lot of lip from some arrogant fool. When I reacted with serious authority, they just dropped their burning cigarettes on the ground. When I turned away, I glanced back and they had simply picked up their burning fags and carried on smoking. Why do so many of them crash - simple, a lack of respect for the regulations that are there to protect them from their own stupidity."
As a passionate microlighter I take HUGE exception to this statement from whoever penned it. Guy has seemingly attributed this to Athol but who knows where it originates?? It's a disgusting and, to be honest, arrogant rambling from some ignorant IDiOT who was a guest of Misasa at Tedderfield!! Shame on you
has anyone tried to find out who was these guys smoking around aircraft 
or is that ok to do
