The noise was barely noticeable. Just blended in with all the aircraft going past, trucks and cars. Police, Ambulances and the Fire Brigade. Boats, jet skis and the occasional F18!
Loved it.
Point of order, sir. The (begrudgingly smart-ish) NIMBY is not quoting
flights but
movements in an attempt to make things look [twice] as worse as they are. As
we all know, 4000 "movements" is just 2000 "flights", or 'roughly' 300 a day. WTF does he expect in a tourist hotspot?!?
