JEREMY Clarkson was left fuming when a biplane buzzed his farm, telling the pilot: “Fit a f***ing silencer.” 

He took umbrage when ex-RAF ace and British Airways captain Mike Edwards looped Diddly Squat four times.

The star, 65, vented on Instagram and shared the flight path. 

Online data showed the Pitts Special S2A spent seven minutes circling the farm at 172mph on May 3. 

He also wrote: “Fit it with a f***ing silencer.” 

But Mike, 57, told The Sun: “I’ve written to Mr Clarkson to say I’m sorry and didn’t mean to cause any problems. 

“I was practising my aerobatics, going up to 2,000ft and doing loops and rolls — using a railway line as a guide. 

“As a professional pilot of 40 years, safety is at the heart of all I do. 

“That’s why I practise the routines nice and high and try and get away from people. 

“I live down the road so I wouldn’t want to annoy my neighbours with the noise. 

“If Mr Clarkson wanted to come up with me I’d be more than happy to show him Diddly Squat Farm.” 

Mike learned to fly aged ten. 

His restored Pitts Special was built in 1972 and flown by his dad Marcus in the 1970s Rothmans display team. 

Flying pal Tom Saunders, 44, posted in response to Jeremy, whose farm is near Chadlington, Oxon: “Silencer was too expensive so I sent Jeremy these earmuffs.” 

In another post, Tom said: “I think somebody needs a hug.” 

Other fans pointed out the irony of Jeremy’s complaint. 

One sniped: “Man drives the loudest cars forever. Retires and complains about noise.” 

Another added: “Anyone else here for the irony of the loudest man on TV throwing his toys out of the pram over one little plane?”
