Geoff:
I know I'm supposed to be an expert on canon but haven't currently got 
time to follow this one up. I can only speak from memory - so I may be 
corrected.

We know that you cannot Apparate into Hogwarts but is there anywhere 
in canon that specifically states that you cannot fly into Hogwarts?

We have now mentioned a lot of aerial traffic which needs access and, as 
someone has suggested, intruders are unilkely to launch an attack via 
broomsticks, the owl post needs to arrive, so I wonder if, like the other 
methods mentioned, the Ford Anglia fell outside Hogwarts restrictions?
