Somerset farmer whose cows were spooked by helicopter wins compensation
A Somerset farmer whose cattle were spooked by low flying military helicopters has won £2,200 compensation from the Ministry of Defence.
The claim is among 824 settled in the past seven years by the MoD, which now totals more than £9 million.

The compensation went to an anonymous farmer in Wellington, for ‘injury to cattle and damage to fencing’ last May.
Huge twin-bladed Chinook helicopters have been blamed for the biggest claims in recent years and the NFU has been helping individuals to secure settlements for the disturbances.

Two years ago an Oxfordshire chicken farmer was handed £44,000 compensation after he complained about a series of low-flying incidents and a Sussex farmer was paid £23,000 after terrified chickens were trampled to death while others were too traumatised to carry on laying eggs.
