A major campaign by local residents and farmers in Keswick will see the RAF stop using the low fly area of LFA17. This will see all flights by military aircraft over Cumbria not coming below 5'000ft. Local resident Maureen Colheurn is reported to be delighted at the news following a recent high profile campaign by herself and other local residents of the Lake District National Park Authority. The ban is likely to come into force this time next year to allow the RAF to alter it's training patterns.
