I live South East of Heathrow near Hampton Court Palace and I have seen a marked increase in noise in my garden in the past few years. Obviously more noticeable in the last 10 days as one is either in the garden during the day or at night have all the windows open. Can notice a huge difference between modern Dreamliners and A380 vs older 747 (my favourite)
I am guessing more frequent when easterly is blowing as they taking off into the wind but not 100% on that
Now don't get me wrong I love aeroplanes and have done all my life (17 years on Pprune and counting) - growing up in South Africa in the 70's it was a special treat to see the daily Boeing go over (the old saying phrase was "Is it too early for a beer? Well has the Boeing gone over yet? - if yes then its not too early!!!)
Can anyone on here suggest a good website to find out what the potential air traffic increase will be for different areas around LHR so we can get an idea of potential degradation of house values?
Google is not helping on this occasion
Many thanks
