High Wing Drifter,
I also live between Blackbushe and Farnborough. I take great delight from being able to watch aircraft downwind at Blackbushe from my sofa.
I spent all day yesterday (Sunday 23rd) in the garden and about 10 light aircraft (mainly PA28 types) came over enroute to/from Farnborough, and once I even rushed in to grab my camera.
I completely agree with you about the jet noise from Farnborough. There's next to none and on the occassions I do hear it (like, standing in Farnborough B&Q carpark yesterday), I love it.
Perhaps I should write to my MP and tell him how wonderful light aircraft are...
