Not in the early '80s when I lived in Frimley.
Inbounds would pass virtually overhead on long final; I was woken up several times by 05 ops and of course when I got to work at Farnborough, our departures from 07 had to be limited so as not to climb into the Heathrow inbounds as normally when Heathrow was on easterlies, we could climb our departures to 6,000ft overhead Farnborough.
