Obvoiusly Munich Airport and others which are very noise sensitive airports with much bigger local controls have got it all wrong with CEO vs NEO. Shame the Herts locals know nothing about sharklets!
I almost bought property in Wigmore 30 years ago but instead bòught off Tennyson Road because airport noise was much shorter duration, never bothered me too much, M1 was more of a nucenense if wind from West. Before that was in St Albans area, more bothered by 1-11s & 737-200s then and heavies out of LHR!
