Hi Guys,
I had an unfortunate incident at Blackbushe on Saturday lunchtime and I wanted to give you all a bit of a heads up and request that anyone visiting BBS could keep their eye open during the next few weeks.
Basically, I had been to watch my grandson play football at Hartley Wintney. On the way home I was coming up the A30 towards BBS and decided to pop into the car park to see what’s in - do that when passing most airports. I drove into the car park turned left towards the Pathfinder cafe and parked near the fence. I was there about 2-3 mins and literally looked around the parked aircraft - the French Yak had its prop running, but nothing else of note.
As I was coming out of the car park towards the exit, I noticed a white van in my rear view mirror which drove up very quickly behind me. I turned left on to the A30 going towards Camberley and the van followed me. As I was approaching the roundabout (A327/Cricket Hill Lane) I was indicating to turn right and head towards Farnborough. About 100 meters before the roundabout the single road turns into a dual lane, at which point this white van sped up and then rammed the near side of my car. He then sped off to the left of the roundabout and then turned left again onto Vigo Lane and disappeared.
The airport manager at BBS (Chris) has very kindly provided me with CCTV footage of me entering, and 4 minutes later departing, with said white van close behind me. I don’t know why this happened or whether the driver was under the influence of drink or drug, I’ll never know as I only got a partial number plate (HJ07…). It’s a small white Peugeot Berlingo. But if you are a regular at BBS or the surrounding area, could I ask that if you see it, could you kindly take a note of the full registration and let me have it.
Jeff and Graham have kindly done some enhancements to the CCTV which identifies the vehicle.
Sadly I can’t load the CCTV…
Thanks chaps, I’d appreciate any input.
Bill
