I made a point of looking at the Hydro on my way up to check out the situation of lighting. Not good with a lot of light just thrown up into the sky around two buildings, the 'Casino' and an old building on site. I can see why this is annoying the neighbours.

From the Airfield itself, I could not see any ill affects. The Hydro and its lights sit behind the clump of trees around the entrance to the Airfield. Mind you, this night was an exceptionally clear one, with very low humidity. Any effects of the lights would be more significant with less favourable conditions. This particular night might not have been the best then to evaluate the extent of the problem.

I left the Airfield at 5am - still dark. I had other things on my mind at the time so i missed checking to see if the Hydro had turned off these lights. Bugger.
