Walkerton pilot served with trespass notice

WALKERTON – A pilot involved in an ongoing dispute with the Saugeen Municipal Airport was served last week with a 33-page trespass notice.

It’s the latest in a series of actions against the pilot, Phil Englishman, of Walkerton. He successfully fought one trespass charge in court and was completely exonerated. A subsequent charge was dismissed. The Crown opted not to proceed with yet another charge.
