Thanks for the reply.
Sorry, I'm no longer in the industry, so I am firmly on the other side of the perimeter fence, and didn't realise that the departure was for 09 only.
I can't find anything on the web about it, although the protesters seem to "know" about it. It would be good if your marketing folks could fill the "information vacuum" on this one.
A humble suggestion - It's maybe better to not give direct routings across the potential holding pattern, as the locals are pretty sensitive about this area, and will suspect that the hold is active.
The actual noise levels, inbound and outbound, are, in my opinion, no worse that the days of 1-11s and early-series widebodies slugging up the old Amber One ten years ago, which passed directly over large chunks of East Leicestershire.
Must go now - need to re-zip my anorak...
